A 32-year-old woman was stabbed to
death in Ngenia, Tigoni, Kiambu County.
Police said Valentine Wanjiku
succumbed to multiple stab wounds sustained while walking with another man. The
suspect, according to police and witnesses, is believed to be her former
boyfriend.
The attack occurred as Wanjiku and
the man arrived at their home in the Ngenia Makaburini area on Sunday morning.
She suffered deep wounds to the neck, right thigh, and left leg.
She was rushed to Tigoni Level Four
Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police said they are pursuing the
suspect, who was known to the victim. The motive of the attack remains unclear.
Elsewhere, in the Vitengeni area of
Kilifi, a 75-year-old man was found murdered in what police described as a
brutal killing.
The body of Gonzi Tinga Kalo was
discovered on his farm, lying in a pool of blood about 150 meters from his
house.
It had two deep cuts—on the back of
the head and face. His left wrist was injured, and his right ankle had been
severed.
Police said his maize plantation had
been destroyed during the incident.
A mobile phone, a knife, a wallet
containing Sh260, and his national ID card were found at the scene.
Investigations are ongoing, and the motive remains unknown.
In Mwangulu, Kwale County,
70-year-old Mwamkono Chaka was hacked to death outside his house.
Police said his wife, who was inside
at the time, managed to escape as assailants attacked her husband, killing him
on the spot on Saturday night. The motive has not yet been established.
The bodies have been moved to the
mortuary for autopsy.
Police say such murders, which often
target the elderly, are common in the region and are largely linked to land
disputes. Most victims are elderly men believed to be involved in unresolved
land matters.
