Police in Molo Nakuru county are looking for a man who allegedly killed his girlfriend in cold blood before escaping.
The DCI says Moses Njeri is believed to have stabbed 28-year-old girlfriend Hannah Ndirangu in the chest during a heated argument over an unspecified issue.
"The suspect is believed to have escaped through the opening of the house," DCI boss Mohamed Amin said in a statement.
He said the woman’s neighbours at Tayari farm were the first to stumble on the deceased’s lifeless body after gaining access to her wooden house through an opening in one of the walls.
They found the body of the deceased sprawled on a sofa set in the house.
"Detectives based at DCI Molo who rushed to the scene after being notified of the incident recovered a bloodstained vegetable knife, suspected to be the murder weapon," Amin said.
Crime Scene experts processed the scene before removing the body to Molo Subcounty hospital.
Following the murder, a sombre mood has engulfed the neighbourhood as residents try to come to terms with the incident.
