They were taken hostage on Sunday, June 25, and their remains were transported to the location where they were discovered burned.
According to investigators, the two resided on Ridgeways Kiambu Road.
On the day they were scheduled to meet, Gbenga allegedly called Kanini.
and informed her he had been arrested by people purporting to be police officers after an accident near Muthaiga.
No one knows what happened next until the day their bodies were found in an open field burnt with what looked like acid.
