According to Citizen news report, before the murder, Warunge told detectives that he had gone online to research on the best way to execute the crime.

After commiting all the crimes, Waruinge went on the lam after packing his bloodied clothes in a bag.

He also carried several phones of the victims and the murder weapon to Njikase village in Mai-Mahiu where he had rented board with his lover.
