Authorities in Kenya have arrested Kevin Kangethe, a 40-year-old man from Lowell, Massachusetts, who is suspected of murdering Margaret 'Maggie' Mbitu, aged 31. After allegedly killing Mbitu and leaving her body in a car trunk at Logan International Airport's Central Parking, Kangethe boarded a flight to Kenya in November. The arrest was the result of collaboration between Kenyan police, the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Security Service, INTERPOL, and other authorities. The extradition process to bring Kangethe back to the United States has already begun. The case has drawn significant media attention, and a statement from the District Attorney along with an interview with Mbitu's family has been released.
