Police
are investigating an incident where the body of a middle-aged woman was found
in her rental house in Kabete, Kiambu County after murder.
According
to police, Naomi Chebet was brutally murdered in her rental house in an apartment
by a suspect alleged to be her husband.
The suspect is on the run, police said on Wednesday, after the Saturday night incident.
Chebet was found
dead in her rental apartment in Kabete, with a post-mortem report confirming
she had suffered multiple injuries, including stab wounds and blunt force
trauma.
The deceased woman, who was a mother of three, graduated from a community catering course in 2021.
According to
reports, she was last seen alive entering her apartment with the suspect on
Saturday night, just hours before she was found dead.
The
couple had just reunited after months of separation, a reconciliation that was
led by Chebet's brother at around 9 pm on Saturday.
An
hour later, the suspect left the house at 10:30 pm.
He allegedly confessed to having committed the murder in a cryptic message that he wrote on
Facebook, police said.
The suspect was
last traced to Githurai 45 on Monday, but authorities have yet to make an
arrest.
The family is
urging the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to speed up investigations
and bring the suspect to justice.
