A family in Kiambu County is demanding answers after their 22-year-old kin, a student at Kanjuku Vocational Training Centre, was stabbed to death by her jilted lover.

Speaking to the press on Saturday, October 21, Mary Wanjiku, the deceased's mother, revealed that the lover had met her claiming that he was returning her lost phone, requesting her to meet with him near Gatundu Police Station.

According to Wanjiku, her daughter, Alice Wangechi, who had recently returned from school, agreed to meet with her lover, but it was during the meeting that the tragic stabbing occurred.

"Two months ago, her phone was stolen and she reported the matter to the police. So, when she received the call from her friend, she was excited and eager to retrieve her phone," she explained.

Wangechi failed to return home from where she had gone to pick up her phone, with a neighbour discovering her body.

On his part, David Kimani, Wangechi's father, wondered why his daughter was killed near the precincts of the police station which is usually crawling with officers, thus anticipated to be a safe haven.

"We are puzzled by how she could be fatally stabbed right beside a police station. If not for a vigilant neighbour who discovered her body and alerted the authorities, her remains might not have been found," the grieving father complained.

Until her demise, Wangechi was a student at the Kanjuku Vocational Training Centre, pursuing a course in beauty and hairdressing.

Nonetheless, her family praised her as a cheerful child with a natural talent and a passion for learning.

"She had a dream that upon completing her education and securing a job, she would support the family. Wangechi frequently saved money and surprised us with gifts," Margaret Wanjiru, Wangechi's grandmother stated.

Wangechi's mother also divulged her daughter's battle with diabetes from when she was a child.

"She developed diabetes when she was just 8 years old and struggled with it throughout her life. I am profoundly heartbroken, entrusting everything to God's hands," she stated.

The family appealed to police officers to conduct thorough investigations to establish the root cause of the matter.

The circumstances that led to the meeting at the police station leading to the fatal stabbing incident, including the motive, were yet to be established.
