Father to murder suspect Joe Irungu has asked detectives to take their time before condemning his son as a murderer.
He says that his family has hired a private doctor to conduct independent tests after police officers claimed that DNA findings had placed Irungu at the crime scene.
I was shocked to see the report in the newspaper that DNA samples were showing 99.9 per cent confirmation. I am hoping they can track everything and do through investigations. We are wondering how they arrived at that” Irungu’s father said.
The old man says that he last saw his son at the Kijabe hospital where Irungu was treated for gun shot wounds.
Irungu apparently told his parents that he had been shot at by thugs on his way home from work
“He called me to say he was in hospital and so we left with his mother to find out what happened. We arrived at Kijabe and he told us he had been admitted don Sunday and he was later discharged on Monday.” the suspects father explained.
He also refuted the suicide version of the story saying Irungu who is a trained gun handler would have shot himself squarely on the shoulder if he had intended to kill himself.
The suspects mother says that her life has changed since her son was linked to the murder of Monica Kimani.
She says she can no longer go outside or even open the gate to her friends because she fears for the unknown.
