They are 38-year-old Eugene Kiprop Kipchirchir and Hillary Kiplangat Kibet, 40.

While engaging the officers, they reportedly offered them KSh 179,000.

The amount was supposed to be a bribe to motivate the officers against pursuing the suspect.

"Their yarn quickly unravelled when they attempted to grease the officers' palms with the hefty bribe to keep the fugitive from facing justice," the DCI said.

They were arrested and interrogated, during which they produced the whereabouts of the suspected they had tried shielding.

"During the subsequent interrogation, the schemers spilt the beans, leading the officers to swoop down on a parking lot at Dondez restaurant and nab the main suspect, Rashid Oyondi Nyanuba, who was hiding inside an Isuzu double cab with the license plate KAW 092Y," the DCI stated further.

The trio was taken to the Kondele Police Station ahead of their arraignment.
