As investigations continue, fresh claims have emerged about the amount allegedly paid to the men accused of carrying out the attack. According to a witness, the three suspects allegedly agreed to execute the attack for KSh 300,000.
The witness claimed each of them received an advance payment of KSh 10,000 before the incident. Claire was attacked by men riding a motorcycle who allegedly splashed acid on her before fleeing.
She has since spoken publicly about her relationship with her former boyfriend, Elvis Opiyo, who is alleged to be a National Intelligence Service officer.
Claire maintained that she repeatedly asked him to stop sending her money and even returned some of the funds.
The witness alleged that Opiyo was introduced to the suspects through a man known as Happy, who reportedly led a criminal gang in Mathare.
According to the witness, discussions allegedly took place about seeking revenge against Claire, including plans to seriously harm or kill her.
The witness further claimed that the motorcycle used in the attack belonged to one of the suspects, Lucas Ochieng, although another individual allegedly rode it during the assault.
Lucas has since been arrested alongside Opiyo, while two other suspects, including the alleged rider, remain at large.
The witness also alleged that acid was tested before the attack during a meeting at a club in Mathare where the suspects frequently gathered.
He expressed concern that Claire could still be in danger, claiming one key suspect had not yet been arrested.
He urged her family to remain alert and ensure her safety as the criminal case moves forward.
Police investigations into the attack are ongoing as authorities continue searching for the remaining suspects.
