On November 1, the body of Margaret Mbitu, a missing Whitman woman, was discovered in a vehicle at Boston's Logan International Airport's Central Parking garage. The Massachusetts State Police, in collaboration with the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office, have identified the case as a homicide, according to the State Police News.
After Mbitu was reported missing by her family on October 30, investigators located her deceased in her car at the airport. Kevin Kangethe, 40, is to have quickly become a key suspect in the murder case, as reported by the State Police News.
Evidence suggests that Kangethe fled to Kenya following the crime, according to Hoodline. Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Kangethe for Mbitu's murder and are collaborating with Kenyan officials in their search for the suspect.
Authorities have reassured the public that there is no current threat to their safety or to those traveling at Logan Airport. Investigators have requested the media to respect the privacy of Mbitu's grieving family during this challenging time.
