The detectives are said to be working round the clock to recover the murder weapon which would be crucial in securing a conviction against Irungu.Two weeks ago, the detectives drove Irungu around several estates in Nairobi where they believed he may have hidden the murder weapon – believed to be a knife.
The search saw DCI officers take the suspect to Monica Kimani’s apartment, as well as in the house where he lived with his fiancée Jacque Maribe.
They also visited three other estates where Irungu’s close friends live. Apart from the weapon, police are keen on discovering the keys to Kimani’s apartment as her killer locked the house after killing her.
Last week, the Nation reported that the homicide detectives had taken a knife belonging to Maribe for DNA testing. The results of the test were not availed to the media.

Media reports indicate that the police have gathered crucial evidence linking Irungu to Kimani’s murder, including DNA evidence that placed him at the scene of the murder.
