DCI Dagoretti is handling a homicide case after a scuffle between two casual labourers at a construction site in Kiambu's Kabete area turned fatal on Tuesday evening.
In a statement, DCI stated that while at their work place at Tender Foot within Kabete, Samson Therura (28) and his co-worker Martin Munywoki (27), reportedly locked horns over a past debt, only for Therura's lifeless body to be discovered a few metres from the site later in the evening.
Crime Scene Investigators who attended the scene established that the deceased had been stabbed through the left side of his chest, succumbing to the bleeding.
An overnight manhunt for the prime suspect (Martin Munywoki) had then been launched, before detectives smoked him out of his hideout, a friend's house.
Police also found a bloodstained knife at the same house, which has been kept as exhibit.
As further investigations continue, Munywoki remains in custody undergoing legal procedures pending plea taking.
