NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Police in Kenya say a murder suspect who was awaiting extradition to the United States has escaped from police custody. The Nairobi police chief said early Thursday that Kevin Adam Kinyanjui Kangethe had slipped out of the police station and jumped into one of the privately owned minivans that are the main transportation source in Kenya. The police chief said a new search for Kangethe was begun immediately. He is being sought in Massachusetts for allegedly killing his girlfriend and leaving her body in a car at a Boston airport before boarding a flight to Kenya.
