The High Court on Wednesday watched a compilation of CCTV footage that prosecutors say captures the final movements of four women allegedly killed by Hashim Dagane Muhumed in a nine-day span in October 2024. Hashim, who has denied all charges, is accused of a pattern of killings that investigators describe as deliberate, calculated and linked by the same vehicle and movements.
Appearing before Lady Justice Margaret Muigai, CCTV expert Corporal Lawrence Kamau took the court through the night of October 21–22, when three women were murdered hours apart.
Footage from Eastleigh Section 4 shows a woman in black entering a lift at 7:48 pm, exiting minutes later and getting into a grey car believed to be driven by Hashim. At 23:49, the same vehicle is seen at Total Energies Athi River, where it is fueled before driving off.
Shortly after midnight, the car reappears outside the same Eastleigh building. Two women emerge at 00:54. One, dressed in blue, approaches the car twice before both eventually enter the vehicle at 01:03. They were later identified as Amina AbdiRashid Dhahir and Musayba Abdi Mohammed.
At Sixth Avenue, Parklands, the grey car is recorded at 4:36 am. Ten minutes later, headlights switch on and the vehicle reverses over what the officer identified as a human body.
“At the point the vehicle was reversing, there was someone on the ground,” Kamau told the court. The car rolls over the body twice before leaving at 4:47 am.
A week later, Hashim is accused of killing his girlfriend, Deka Abdinoor Gorone, inside Valley Heights Apartments, Lavington. CCTV from the building shows him later carrying a large trash bag investigators believe contained her remains. Parts of Deka’s body were later recovered at Lang’ata Cemetery, where police say they had been boiled, dismembered and buried.
Investigations conducted in November 2024 revealed that Hashim had been romantically involved with Deka and had twice sought permission to marry her under their cultural process of doonis. Her family rejected the proposal, but Deka continued seeing him privately, often sneaking out to meet him despite warnings from friends and relatives.
Deka was last seen on October 21, the same day the three Eastleigh women were found dead. Her family reported her missing on October 24 after she failed to return home or show up for work. They later received voice notes from her phone claiming she had left the country, messages police now believe were sent under Hashim’s direction. Police also believed a chemical was used in the disposal of her body.
The prosecution maintains that all four killings are linked by the same vehicle, movements and timeline.
