CCTV Breakthrough: DCI Identifies Vehicle Owner in Shocking Jirongo Death Probe

Former Lugari Member of Parliament, Cyrus Jirongo, tragically lost his life in a fatal road traffic accident on December 13, 2025, along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway. Jirongo was driving his Mercedes when it was involved in a head-on collision with a bus, resulting in his immediate death at the scene. The wreckage of his vehicle was later viewed by Director of the Homicide Division, Martin Nyugoto, who is leading detectives in the ongoing inquiry.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has since made a significant disclosure regarding the ownership of a white Toyota Probox, which was captured on CCTV footage moments before the late Cyrus Jirongo's fatal accident. This vehicle, bearing registration number KDJ 564E, has become a central point of the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Jirongo's death.

In a detailed progress report concerning the inquiry, detectives revealed that they undertook a journey to Keringet in Kuresoi South, located within Nakuru County. The purpose of this trip was to meticulously trace and conduct interviews with individuals who are believed to be linked to the aforementioned motor vehicle. This effort underscores the DCI's commitment to thoroughly investigate all aspects of the tragic incident and piece together the events that led to the former MP's demise.
