Kiambu County Commissioner Wilson Wanyanga confirmed that the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) student couldn’t be traced, days after the family members were murdered.
The youth had switched off his phone but police managed to track down his last signal in Naivasha, Nakuru County.
On Saturday morning, January 9, detectives announced that they had found the breakthrough in the murder case, linking the son to the death of his kin.
Detectives presumed that a close family member had coordinated the attack on Njoroge Warunge, an American-based nurse who was stabbed 34 times after watching his wife, two children and another relative killed.
“The house is well fenced with a perimeter wall and razor wire and there was no sign the killers struggled to gain entry by breaking in.
“There is no doubt that the killers used someone close to the family to gain access to the house,” Kiambu County Commissioner Wilson Wanyanga said.
Police ruled out robbery and argued that the missing son may the answer to the puzzle after he went missing.
His two other sisters were reported to be safe and sound as they had reported to school.
Detectives are also hunting down for five other individuals suspected to have been part of a gang which coordinated with a family member to murder the deceased.
A government pathologist will release postmortem results on Monday, January 11.
