The murder investigation into Dorita Lasinder Macharia is being spearheaded by detectives from Gigiri Police Station and the Homicide Unit.

The primary elements surrounding the investigation include:

The Scene: Police and the family lawyer, Senior Counsel Philip Murgor, discovered the 86-year-old’s body at her Loresho residence on Friday evening, October 30, 2026. She had visible physical injuries, and a significant amount of blood was found at the scene, leading detectives to rule out natural causes.

The Arrests: A total of six people of interest were initially arrested. One of the victim’s sons was apprehended directly on the property during the initial police response.

Court Detention Order: On November 2, 2026, the court officially granted detectives 10 days to hold Regina Re and three of her siblings.

Focus of the 10-Day Window: Forensic investigators and detectives are using this period to reconstruct the crime scene, gather physical evidence, process forensic samples and record comprehensive statements from all suspects and witnesses.
