Crime scene

 A boda boda rider was found dead after a suspected murder in his house in Namanga Town, Kajiado County.

Police identified him as Joseph Waithaka, saying his body was found covered with a bed sheet on June 2.

According to police, they noticed blood oozing from the nose, some injuries on the chest near the left breast and the chin.

The house was untidy with cooked food on the gas cooker, and the lights were still on.

The bed was not made, and clothes were thrown all over.

The deceased’s wife was away in Nairobi at the time of the incident.

Police said she reported the incident in Mowlem in Dandora.

She was held by police to help in the probe into the incident.

The body was moved to a local mortuary pending autopsy and investigations.

Police said they want to establish how and why she suspected the man was dead.

This was after she made the report to the police.

The Nairobi police called a bodaboda rider in Namanga and asked him to go and check if Waithaka was okay.

It was then that the body was discovered. The motive of the murder is yet to be established.

Elsewhere in Transmara, Narok County, a man was found murdered and his body abandoned in a maize plantation.

The incident happened in the Olonchani Sub-location.

Police said the body had visible bruises on both wrists and the neck region.

The body was moved to the mortuary pending autopsy and investigations.

A 22-year-old woman was found murdered after she had quarrelled with her husband over parental issues in Mulot, Narok County.

He later escaped the scene after allegedly committing the offence.
