Sunday Mirror reporter Russell Myers is pictured inside the tunnel
The terrorists behind the Nairobi shopping centre massacre are feared to have escaped capture by fleeing like “sewer rats” through an undergroud tunnel.
Security services are probing claims the al-Shabaab militants behind the Westgate attack slipped into the mall’s sewage system and fled by travelling half a mile in knee deep sludge.
Our exclusive pictures reveal the exact point where the darkened tunnel meets the Nairobi River.
It is here many of the terrorists are believed to have surfaced then slipped away...leaving a hard core group inside the mall to complete their slaughter.
Underground tunnel starts in the car park of the shopping centre and goes directly into the heart of Nairobi
Speaking from the tunnel, Sunday Mirror reporter Russell Myers said: "The tunnel starts at the Westgate centre where the siege took hold last Saturday, coming through the car park it comes 100 metres underground.
"It then comes out closely guarded by shrubbery and continues for two kilometres to the centre of Nairobi.
"The terrorists would have been able to come through here completely unseen making their escape through Nairobi museum. After that they could have changed clothes and got into cars to make their escape."

A
source close to the investigation said: “They escaped like sewer rats.
The terrorists would have been able to pass through the underground
tunnels at a rapid pace and surface almost unnoticed.
“We are dealing with a highly organised outfit. The operation was planned with military precision, nothing had been discounted.”
The darkened tunnel continues for more than two miles across Nairobi, leaving the gang behind the attack ample opportunity to flee the scene before Kenyan troops arrived.
Unbelievably, it is alleged that Kenyan investigators didn’t know of the escape route until at least 72 hours after the horror unfolded.
