According to eyewitnesses who spoke to NTV, they saw the suspect running barefoot on Wednesday evening before boarding a vehicle that was waiting for him.
Police had earlier claimed that Kang’ethe took off during a meeting in a private room with a man who visited the station saying he was his lawyer.
He was granted client-counsel privilege and there was no police officer in the room when Kang’ethe met his alleged lawyer.
“After a short while, the prisoner escaped by running away and left the lawyer behind,” the statement said.
Police further alleged that they tried to chase him but he jumped onto a matatu that was at the bus stop and asked the driver to take off amid shouts from the officers who were chasing him.
The matatu then allegedly vanished.
Police went on to claim that they have details of the matatu and efforts to trace the crew and owner were ongoing.
However, eyewitnesses revealed that he boarded a private vehicle and not a matatu as claimed by the police.
They also stated that the police did not chase him after he escaped from the station.
