Detectives investigating the identity of two Armenians alleged to be
mercenaries have extended their probe to Mombasa to establish if they
have business links in the town.
Police sources said this followed suspicions that some businessmen
in the town had links with the two foreigners.
A group of detectives from Nairobi will visit the coastal town to
dig up any business links the duo might have.
"Police want to check out claims that these men, who claim to be
Armenians, have business links in Mombasa," said the police source.
The source said police have received several claims that the two men
were frequent visitors to Mombasa where they stay in one of the top
beach hotels. Police will also be checking out if the Brother Link
Company in which the two are co-owners has been doing import business
through the port of Mombasa.
"If we know the nature of the business they do we will know if they
are genuine business people as they claim," said the police source.
An earlier claim made by politicians allied to the Orange Democratic
Movement indicated that the two Armenians had business links with
some Mombasa businessmen.
