A team of detectives drawn from the DCI headquarters on Kiambu Road has arrested the prime suspect in the murder of a yet to be identified middle-aged woman in Nakuru on Christmas Day.
The suspect went into hiding in Nyandarua after committing the heinous crime.
On the fateful day, the suspect who was employed at Ngomongo village within Rurii location, is said to have murdered the woman, gouged out her eyes, severed her mammary glands and inflicted multiple wounds on the victim's head and abdomen before stuffing her remains in a sack and bolting out of his servant quarters.
Later, his employer is said to have visited the staff quarters where she discovered the stuffed sack soaked in a blood. A hammer and a knife in a bucket full of red-coloured water was also discovered at the scene.
The employer reported the matter at Workers Police Patrol Base.
The scene was visited and the victim's remains moved to Nakuru Annex Hospital Mortuary, as search for the 25-year-old murder suspect commenced.
After a tireless search, the suspect was smoked out his hideout at Tumaini shopping centre in Nyandarua county for interrogation and further police procedures, pending arraignment.
Police said they are yet to establish the motive of the murder.
The murder is almost a replica of another one that occured in late October within Nakuru's Utawala area.
The body of a 34-year-old woman was found stuffed in a sack and abandoned in a thicket along Githuguri Road.
Police said the body did not have visible injuries when it was discovered on Monday, October 28.
Police suspected the woman may have been killed elsewhere and the body dumped at the site.
The latest murder adds to yet another of a 74-year-old man reported on Wednesday night following a brawl.
Police said a KDF officer had visited the Githioro police canteen on Christmas Day to celebrate with his wife but got into an altercation with a civilian.
The man lay unconscious after the fight and was rushed to Nakuru Teaching and Referral Hospital by officers but he succumbed before he could be attended to by doctors.
