 Kelvin Kangethe: US fugitive wanted for murder escapes custody in Kenya

Kelvin Kangethe is alleged to have murdered and dumped his girlfriend at the Boston Logan airport, before fleeing to Kenya

A man who fled the US after allegedly killing his girlfriend has walked out of a Kenyan police station where he was being held without anyone stopping him.

Kelvin Kangethe, 41, was arrested last week leaving a club in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, after a months-long manhunt.

A court had allowed his detention for 30 days awaiting possible extradition.

Authorities say that after Mr Kangethe murdered his girlfriend last October, he abandoned her body in a car at Boston Logan International Airport.
