Nairobi, Kenya — It had been three months since Maggie Mbitu was found dead at Boston’s airport, and authorities seemed no closer to finding the man suspected of killing her and fleeing the country.

But this week, they finally got a break. On Monday night an undercover officer spotted someone who looked like the suspect at a nightclub 7,000 miles away in Nairobi, Kenya, and struck up a conversation with him, a police official told CNN.

Within hours authorities identified the man as fugitive Kevin Kangethe, a Boston-area man who US investigators said boarded a plane to Kenya shortly after killing his girlfriend. Authorities in Massachusetts had obtained a warrant for Kangethe’s arrest on a murder charge.

Mbitu’s body was found in Kangethe’s SUV in a parking garage at Boston Logan International Airport on November 1, two days after she was reported missing.
