Crime scene
An
autopsy conducted on the body of Naomi Wangare Mwangi showed she was also
sexually assaulted.
The body of the woman was recovered within Embakasi on the night of February 18,
2025.
Detectives
at the Embakasi Police Station are searching for two male suspects linked to
the murder.
A woman was arrested at the weekend for allegedly luring the deceased one to the alleged
assailants.
The
motive is yet to be determined.
Witnesses
told police they saw the unknown assailants forcing the deceased to the ground before
they strangled her.
They also assaulted her as she screamed for help. Neighbours responded to the scene only to find the woman’s body half naked.
Her
killers had already vanished into the darkness by then.
The body was moved to the mortuary, where the
autopsy was conducted.
Relatives
said on the day she died, Naomi received a phone call from someone and left the
house.
She left her 9-year-old daughter at home as she stepped outside to meet the caller.
When her husband arrived home from work, he could not find Naomi, until a neighbor came knocking with the tragic news that his wife had been murdered.
Investigators later arrested a female friend who
had been in contact with the deceased before her killing. The manhunt for the
suspects is still ongoing, Nairobi police commander George Sedah said.
Elsewhere in Masinga,
