Despite efforts by police to circulate the details of the car, very little information has come out of it. Notably, however, authorities revealed that the car passed through security cameras on Outering Road and Thika Road with two occupants on board. This was around Tuesday at 2 am.
Authorities believe the two men who were found murdered are the ones who were on board.
The bodies of the two men are current at the City Mortuary where an autopsy will be conducted to identify them.
Authorities are also piecing together the new details to establish the motive of the murder that will be relevant in concluding the case.
