Authorities in Nakuru County are investigating the brutal murder of a woman whose body was discovered in her rented house in Kiptagich, Kuresoi. The incident occurred at Saptet Shopping Center, where the woman’s lifeless body was found lying inside her house with a deep wound on her forehead. The motive behind the killing remains unknown, and no arrests have been made so far.
According to detectives handling the case, the body was discovered by neighbors who became suspicious after failing to see the woman for an extended period. Upon entry into the house, they found her lying in a pool of blood, prompting them to alert the authorities. Law enforcement officers quickly responded to the scene and launched investigations to establish the circumstances surrounding her death.
A postmortem examination is scheduled to be conducted at Olenguruone Sub-County Hospital mortuary as part of the ongoing probe. Authorities are appealing to members of the public who may have any information regarding the case to come forward and assist in the investigations.
Meanwhile, in a separate tragic incident in Soweto, Kayole, Nairobi, a 70-year-old man lost his life after falling from a stool while repairing the roof of a structure. The deceased, identified as Joseph Ogal, was working alone on the third floor of an apartment when he slipped and fell headfirst onto the floor.
Witnesses reported that Ogal had been contracted to repair a chicken house when the accident occurred. Unfortunately, he was working without any assistance or safety equipment, which may have contributed to the fatal fall. His body was discovered hours later, with visible injury marks on the back of his head.
Emergency responders and the police arrived at the scene, but he had already succumbed to his injuries. The body was moved to the mortuary as investigations into the incident continue. Authorities have urged workers, especially those involved in construction and repairs, to prioritize safety measures to prevent similar tragedies.
Both incidents have left communities in shock, with residents calling for increased security measures and safety awareness to prevent such unfortunate occurrences in the future.
