Kenya deports 2 Britons over the murder of a 16-year old boy

Kenya has deported 2 British nationals who on Wednesday last week were arrested in Kilimani Nairobi over the murder of a 16-year old boy in Wembley, North-West London.

Mohamud Siyad Abdihakim (24) and Monteiro Tariq Kennedy Mangal (21) have now been extradited to face trial in the U.K.

Alex Smith was stabbed at least twice in the chest on August 12, 2019 in Munster Square by a rival group of six men who were driving in two stolen vehicles, a Ford Fiesta and a Seat Leon.

Metropolitan police who have been looking for the suspects believe that one of the two arrested fugitives carried out the actual stabbing, while the other one was driving one of the stolen cars.

 The two had been hiding in Nairobi’s upmarket Kilimani suburbs while on the run, in an attempt to escape justice back in the U.K.

 During the arrest, Tariq was found in possession of a Somali identification card in the name of Abdulahi Abshir Mohamed and a dagger. Both have since been extradited to the U.K to face justice for the crimes they committed.

 Two other men identified as Yusuf Yusuf and Arif Biomy are already serving their sentences in the U.K for their role in the murder.
