Teenager arrested over murder of Kenyan journalist

Kenya’s police have arrested a 14-year-old teenager in connection with the killing of a journalist in the capital, Nairobi, after he was identified following an analysis of CCTV footage.

The deceased, Mohammed Hassan of Pamoja FM radio, was heading home after hosting a night show when he was robbed by a group of four people and stabbed on the chest.

He died instantly, the Department of Criminal investigations has tweeted, and his body was found lying on a road on 4 May.

Another 19-year-old suspect linked to the journalist’s murder was arrested last week after being identified in a CCTV footage, Nairobi News website reports.

Police are looking for a woman who they suspect may have harboured the gang.

Pamoja FM is a community radio station based in Kibera, the city’s largest slum.
