Inside Mucatha estate where one of the terrorists lived for 4 months

One of the attackers in the 14 Riverside terror incident had been living at the Guango Estate, Muchatha, coughing up more than Ksh.40,000 in monthly rent according to police reports shared with Citizen TV.

Officers who stormed house No E9 where the attacker had been living in discovered a hole in which a cache of weapons had been stashed.

A witness who claims to have been living next-door described the attacker as a friendly man who was cordial with his neighbors but was rarely in the house.

“He would normally say Hi to everyone but no one knew him well since he was always in and out of the house,” a witness told Citizen TV.

The car which was used in the attack and abandoned near the DusitD2’s  gate was recognized by neighbours who called the police following a circulation of images from the attack.

The house in question has since been cordoned off and officers are in pursuit of friends of the attacker to aid in probe.

A cache of weapons including guns and explosives has also been recovered from the bungalow.

Citizen Digital understands that anti-terror police are pursuing the Estate’s landlord to help in the ongoing investigations.

Earlier in the day, President Uhuru Kenyatta in an address to the nation said that the terror threat had been neutralized and over 700 people rescued.

He also said that 14 people had perished in the attack with scores others sustaining injuries.

Citizen Digital previously reported that the attackers had visited the scene of the crime days before carrying out the heinous attack.

A waiter who spoke to the press recounted serving one of the attackers before the attack. Two days later, he was to see the same man spray six of  workmates at the hotel with bullets
