NAIROBI, KENYA: The death toll
from the illicit liquor across multiple
counties hit 80, as police arrested at
least three suspects linked to the
killer brew and struggled to
establish its source.
Police believe the three suspects
arrested in Limuru, Nairobi and
Machakos respectively are Limuru,
Nairobi and Machakos respectively
are behind the manufacture and
distribution of the drink nicknamed
“wings”.
The one arrested in Embakasi,
Nairobi, allegedly distils “wings” in
his compound, but police raided the
place and found nothing.
The killer brew has different names
in the five counties of Embu,
Makueni, Kitui, Murang’a and
Kiambu, where death struck. And the
tragedy spread to Naivasha, where
one woman died after drinking illicit
alcohol and another lost her
eyesight, as tension rose at Mai
Mahiu trading centre.
In Embu, where the death toll rose
to 35, residents were cursing the
merchants of “Kosovo”.
