Slain Langata woman laid to rest in Kajiado

The body of deceased Naneu Muthoni was buried at Bisil, Kajiado on Tuesday afternoon.

The 31-year-old was murdered by her boyfriend in Langata, Nairobi on Sunday, November 13.

Muthoni’s killer, Thomas Muthee, was arrested on November 18, five days after Muthoni’s body was found in his house in Onyonka Estate, Lang’ata, Nairobi.

Those who spoke during the burial ceremony, including Muthoni’s mother, Grace Naisesoi and father, Sam Muturi, urged the youth to employ tolerance to each other in their relationship.

Muthee was on the run until he was arrested in Malaba - along the Kenya-Uganda border.

At the time of his arrest, some of the deceased’s personal effects were recovered from the suspect, according to DCI reports. 

"The suspect is believed to have masterminded the gruesome murder of his lover, whose lifeless body was found sprawled on a sofa with a deep cut on the forehead and blood oozing from her nose,” the DCI said in a statement.

The DCI’s forensic unit also reported that blood spatter had also been found on the walls and floors in Muthee’s one-bedroom house.

Muthoni’s family had been searching for her for two days before she was finally discovered in Muthee’s house located a few meters from her family home.

Her parents, it is said, had been against the relationship after discovering that Muthee used to beat her, but she would not be dissuaded from continuing with the relationship.
