Willis Ayieko Murder: Suspect Dies After Police Car Chase & Shootout
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Wednesday evening recovered a pistol belonging to the late Wells Fargo Human Resource Manager, Willis Ayieko.
Detectives managed to trail two suspects who were reportedly in possession of the firearm.
According to reports, the firearm was robbed from the slain Ayieko on the night he was murdered.
Upon trying to flag down the suspect’s vehicle, the male driver defied the orders by the police and instead opened fire while speeding off towards Luanda.
This prompted a hot chase that ended at Adder Farm within the Kagilo area, where the vehicle lost control, veered off, and rolled over on the left side of the road.
Unfortunately, the driver managed to escape, leaving behind her female accomplice, who was found seriously injured and unconscious.
Upon searching the vehicle, the police recovered a pistol loaded with 11 rounds of ammunition, which was positively identified as the firearm robbed from Ayieko before his heinous killing.
The woman was rushed to the nearby hospital in Yala but fate was not on her side as she succumbed to her injuries hours later.
Meanwhile, a heightened pursuit of the fleeing suspect led the detectives to his rented house at Sagam Trading Centre within Kanyibwop village where items that are currently in investigations were confiscated.
Among them are a Jungle green sweater, a military pair of shorts, two pairs of desert storm jungle boots, and two TV sets (40 and 32 inches). Additionally, a laptop and a Rolex watch among others were recovered.
