DAILY POST: VIOLET KEMUNTO, the mastermind of DusitD2 terror attack, is a difficult person to track-Family now reveals why the police may never catch her 07:35

Tuesday January 22, 2019 - Violet Kemunto, the lady linked to the deadly DusitD2 terror attack in which 21 people died, has been difficult to track and trace given her complicated lifestyle.

This is according to her relative, who said the family had tried to track her down to no avail. Speaking yesterday, the relative, who requested anonymity due to the nature of the matter, noted that throughout her life, Violet has been difficult to trace and owned three phone numbers which were known to her relatives and friends but difficult to find her on either of them. Besides, she is said to have owned several Facebook accounts, which has further exacerbated the situation as far as tracking and tracing her is concerned. In 2015 when she visited Gusii for the burial of her father, Zablon Kirioba, she is said to have been using the name Violet Omwoyo on Facebook. 

She would later change to Didgesupuu Omwoyo and then Didgesupuu Faruq.
