Nakuru County is grappling with a series of horrifying murders that have left residents shaken. In a gruesome discovery in Bahati, detectives are investigating the brutal killing of a woman, whose body was found stashed in a sack in the servant quarters of a homestead in Ngomongo. The victim’s eyes were gouged out, and one of her breasts was severed, raising chilling questions about the motive behind the crime.
The homicide detectives have since launched a manhunt for the suspect, who is believed to be a member of the victim’s family. Nakuru North Subcounty Commander, Lilies Wachira, confirmed that the suspect fled the scene after committing the crime, and police are now focusing on tracking them down. The motive for the murder remains unclear, with police urging the public to refrain from violent acts.
The woman’s body has been taken to the mortuary, where an autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death. Local authorities have condemned the violence and are appealing for cooperation from the community to help solve the case.
In a separate incident, a 74-year-old man was tragically beaten to death by a Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldier stationed in Isiolo. The two men were reportedly among a group of individuals socializing in a bar within Githioro Police Station in Bahati when an altercation erupted. The soldier, in a fit of rage, allegedly struck the elderly man, resulting in his death. Police officers at the station have recorded statements, and investigations are ongoing to uncover the reason behind the violent outburst.
In Elementaita, Gilgil Subcounty, residents were left reeling after the rape and murder of a 75-year-old woman. The crime, which occurred on Wednesday, prompted protests by locals on Thursday morning, demanding justice. The woman’s body has been moved to the mortuary, and authorities are yet to make an arrest in connection with her death.
As detectives continue their investigations into these tragic events, Nakuru County is in mourning, with families and communities calling for an end to the senseless violence that has rocked the region.
