An arrest warrant has been obtained for a Lowell man suspected of killing a Whitman woman whose body was located in a garage at Logan Airport.
The Massachusetts State Police say 31-year-old Margaret Mbitu was reported missing by her family on Monday and was the subject of a missing person investigation.
State Troopers located her body at approximately 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Logan Airport’s Central Parking garage.
An investigation indicates that she was the victim of a homicide.
The suspect was identified as 40-year-old Kevin Kangethe of Lowell and it’s believed he boarded a flight to Kenya.
A warrant was obtained charging Kangethe with Mbitu’s homicide and State Police say they are working with Kenyan authorities to locate him.
The investigation remains ongoing but officials say they believe that Kangethe and Mbitu knew each other and that the homicide was not a random act.
They add that they do not believe there is a threat to the public or to Logan Airport travelers.
