Monday, August 06, 2012 - The case of the murder of Venezuela’s ambassador to Kenya has taken a new twist after investigators confirmed that the ambassador had more trouble in her 2 week stay in office.

Among the people she rubbed shoulders with were not just the workers she fired after they failed to sign a document claiming that they had made false allegations against the former ambassador Gerardo da Silva, she was also not in good relations with her deputy Dwight Saragay who is accused of the murder. It is alleged that the deputy had declined giving Olga Fonseca authority of the Consular’s bank accounts.

More people at the Venezuela Consular were not pleased by the ambassador’s high handiness because she also stopped the entry of diplomatic parcels in the country.

Apparently the ‘diplomatic parcels’ which are immune to police check during entry and exit to the country were a means of transportation of drugs into the country. This according to investigators may have been the primary cause of her murder.

Dwight Saragay appeared before a magistrate at Milimani courts and has denied the charges of murder.

His close friend Dr. Ahmed Mohammed is still being sought by police after several false leads with the latest being at the prestigious Runda Estate where the public had reported that a female friend of Mohammed was giving him safe haven.

Mohammed is accused of being at the murder scene in the morning of the incident and he might be holding crucial information regarding the grisly murder. According to security guards who were manning the deceased home, Mohammed left with the ambassador’s car overnight and returned it at the wee hours of the morning and left with the car keys.

He has since then gone underground regardless of a warrant of arrest being issued. Two body guards Eliud Kimutai and Benerd Owino have been accused of failing to prevent the murder of their employer. They denied the charges and were released on a cash bail of Sh. 100,000 and a surety of Sh. 500,000.

The case will be heard on August 27.
