A telecommunications expert on Monday linked missing fisherman Brian Odhiambo’s last known mobile phone location to that of four Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officers who are now suspects in the case.
This involves the disappearance of Nakuru fisherman which resumed in a Nakuru court Monday
A data analyst and the sixth witness in the ongoing trial Hassan Salado told the court that Odhiambo’s phone signal was traced to the Kivumbini area of Nakuru East between 10:00 a.m. and 10:55 a.m. on January 18, 2025—matching the exact location and time frame as the mobile phones belonging to four KWS officers charged in connection with the case.
Salado revealed that he received three call data requests from the Nakuru East Sub-County Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) between January 10 and 21, focusing on phone records belonging to Odhiambo and KWS rangers Alexander Lorogoi, Isaac Odhiambo, Michael Wabukala, and Evans Kipsang.
Salado further clarified that Odhiambo’s phone was registered under his wife’s name, Alvy Okello.
During cross-examination, defense lawyers challenged the accuracy of the data, pointing out a record showing Odhiambo’s phone being in Karunga at 10:06 p.m. the same day.
“Confirm that at 22:06, the missing person received a phone call,” said Diana Sigei, a defense lawyer.
“That is a forwarded call… it is just a continuation of Karunga. The phone was still located at Karunga,” Salado responded.
