A 59-year-old man has surrendered to police in Kasarani after allegedly killing a woman he met in a bar in Zimmerman.
Police said the suspect, Wangethi Chege, arrived at the police station on Tuesday and asked officers at the report office to go pick up the deceased's body.
Kasarani police boss Anthony Mbogo said when his officers went to the house, they found the body.
He said the suspect said he met the deceased at a local entertainment establishment and then took her to his house.
“He claims they met in a bar before it blossomed into something different. Then this happened,” he said.
He then told police that he stabbed the woman multiple times in the back and head, claiming she had turned into a ghost.
“He said he feared she could harm him. So, he decided to kill her,” the police boss said.
Police detained him after processing the scene.
They plan to produce the suspect in court to ask for more days as they investigate the incident.
Mbogo said among others, they will test his mental well-being.
He said they recovered two knives believed to have been used to commit the crime.
