Shocking Murder-for-Hire Plot Unveiled – Leonard Thuo Mwithiga Faces Chilling Charges

In a stunning turn of events, Leonard Thuo Mwithiga, a former bank director, has been arrested in Connecticut, US, on charges of orchestrating a murder plot against his wife.

The allegations suggest a disturbing plan to bring his family back to Kenya.

Serious Charges Unveiled

Michigan faces a litany of charges, including criminal attempt, intimidation of a witness, conspiracy to commit murder, and criminal attempt of murder with special circumstances.

The prosecutor deems him a serious threat not just to his wife but also to his children.

Troubled Past and Disturbing Motive

Court documents reveal that Mwithiga’s wife and children had left Kenya due to his abusive behavior.

Disturbingly, Mwithiga expressed a desire to “fight evil with evil” and allegedly intended to pay $4000 to a hitman for the crime.

Secret Recordings and Undercover Operation

An informant, alarmed by Mwithiga’s intentions, began recording their conversations.

The plot took a chilling turn when an undercover state trooper posed as a hitman.

Mwithiga unknowingly met the trooper at a Connecticut motel, identifying the family member to be murdered and specifying the conditions.

Recorded Conversations and Disturbing Details

The court heard that Mwithiga contacted the supposed hitman on multiple occasions, discussing plans to harm the family member between January 28 and February 3, 2024.

Shockingly, he sought a method to cause a slow, cancer-like death through injections in food or water.

Maintaining Innocence and Legal Proceedings

Despite the damning evidence, Mwithiga maintains his innocence, claiming he was in Connecticut for court proceedings and plans to return to Kenya soon.

The judge, however, labeled him an “extreme flight risk” and set a hefty bond of $5 million.

Strict Bond Conditions and Protective Order

If Mwithiga posts bail, he must surrender his passport, wear GPS monitoring, and be under house arrest.

A protective order is also in place.

The court appearance suggests a chilling murder-for-hire plan that has shocked the community.

Next Court Date: January 26, 2024

Mwithiga’s legal battle is set to continue, with his next court appearance scheduled for January 26, 2024.
