The murder of Erick Maigo who was the acting finance boss at the Nairobi Hospital has left detectives and Kenyans intrigued on how the suspected killer managed to escape, and how she had so managed to evade detectives.
A close look at footage retrieved from CCTV cameras in the Woodley Annex Estate apartment suggests that it might have taken Erick Maigo’s suspected killer eight to ten minutes to stage her escape.
Intriguing, the Erick Maigo’s suspected killer who is said to be a teenage girl aged between 15 and 17 years met with neighbours, engaged with some, during her escape. At some point, some neighbours, not knowing what she had done witnessed her climbing over the fence.
In the footage, the suspected killer was captured by the CCTV camera at a different compound from Maigo’s at 6.29am on September 15. She first attempted to go over the fence by stepping on a water tank.
For about two minutes, she remained motionless and appeared to be sucking her left-hand thump continuously.
She then waved at someone inside the compound then peeped over the face and appeared to be talking to someone on the outside whilst her left leg remained stretched on top of the perimeter wall.
After a few seconds of trying to get over the wall, she seemingly abandoned the idea, climbed down and headed to the main gate.
She then returned almost immediately and waved at a woman seen busying herself inside the house’s kitchen after she found the gate locked.
For several minutes, she was seen engaging in a conversation with a lady who emerged from the compound’s servant’s quarter while repeatedly using gestures with her right hand.
The lady in the kitchen peeped through the window after she apparently noticed the resident tenant talking to someone close to the house. The lady from the servant quarter then moved closer and appeared to be dissuading the suspect from going over the razor fence.
The suspect stood on top of the perimeter wall ready to jump.
Her first attempt failed. She fell on the razor wire as the two ladies watched. After a short struggle, she managed to detangle her left leg from the razor wire fence, positioned herself then jumped and disappeared from the camera frame at 6.37am. All this lasted for about eight minutes.
Erick Maigo’s suspected killer was also captured by a different CCTV camera captured her taking sandals from the front door of a different house and heading straight to the main gate of the estate. She exited followed closely by a schoolchild.

A watchman who was close by eaid that he did not suspect her as he thought that she might have been escorting the school child to the school bus that had just pulled up.
According to detectives, the suspected killer then went to Kibra area where her blood-stained clothes were later discovered. Detectives also believe that she has not left Kibra, with residents telling a local media house that she was spotted as late as Friday, one week after the murder going home in the evening.
