"Following the fingerprints and DNA samples that were lifted from Charles Olimu Sipapa, we are linking him to 12 other scenes of the crime of burglary and theft.

Our directorate of CID in close coordination with the directorate of forensics has now established 12 other cases that are linked to Sipapa.
