Nairobi \u2014 Police in Nakuru on Wednesday arrested three people who tried to fleece a girlfriend of marathon champion Samuel Wanjiru three days after his burial.<\/p>\n

The three are being held at the Central Police Station after their plan to lure Judy Wambui to sign up for a suspicious deal at a Nakuru hotel failed.<\/p>\n

“We are holding three suspects and we are interrogating them to establish their motive for calling Ms Wambui to partner with them only a few days after Wanjiru was buried,” said Nakuru police boss Johnston Ipara.<\/p>\n

Managing property<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Ipara said the suspects wanted Ms Wambui, who has been managing Wanjiru’s property in Nakuru, to join them in a business venture called ‘Mbegu-mbegu’.<\/p>\n

Mr Ipara said Ms Wambui was suspicious of the three and alerted the police, who laid a trap and arrested them on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“We arrested the suspects who included a teacher and we are holding them for interrogation. We also seized a vehicle they were using,” he added.<\/p>\n

The three are said to have called Ms Wambui for two consecutive days on her mobile phone.<\/p>\n

According to Ms Wambui, who claims to be five months pregnant with Wanjiru’s child, the suspects called her on Monday and Tuesday asking her to be introduced to a lucrative business.<\/p>\n
