Kevin Kang’ethe, a Kenyan man suspected of murdering his girlfriend in Massachusetts before feeling to Kenya has been extradited back to the United States.
Kangethe, 42, is accused of killing his girlfriend, 31-year-old Margaret Mbitu in November, 2023. Her body was found two days after she was reported missing and was in a vehicle parked at Boston’s Logan airport.
The suspect is believed to have dumped the vehicle containing Margaret’s body at one of the airport’s garages shortly before boarding a flight to Kenya.
He was tracked down two months after arriving in Kenya and arrested but managed to escape police custody. He was eventually re-captured and in July, 2024, a Nairobi court ordered his extradition to the United States where he faces murder charges.
Kang’ethe’s arraignment is set for Tuesday, September 3, 2024 at 10am at the Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, Massachusetts.
