A female student at Kenyatta University who went missing on the weekend of Christmas Day was found dead.
Victoria Muthoni Theuri, a Public Policy and Administration student, was found dead in her boyfriend's house in Kahawa Wendani, Kiambu County.
She was last seen on Christmas Day (Sunday, December 25) when she informed her parents who live in the neighbouring Kahawa Sukari in Kiambu County that she was paying a visit to her sister.
However, when Muthoni did not return home that evening, her parents called her sister to find out if she was spending the night at her place. The sister, according to police, confirmed that she had not seen her, prompting the parents to call her mobile phone number, which was off.
The parents realised that something was off when she failed to return home on Boxing Day with her phone still off, leading them to report the matter to Kahawa Police Station.
After a frantic seven-day search, residents of Alvo House started experiencing a foul smell from one of the apartments, which was locked.
“The man who lives there was not around and we found it odd that there was a bad smell coming out of the house. It smelt like something rotten inside the locked house,” a neighbour was quoted by the Nation.
The caretaker immediately reported the case at Kahawa Sukari Police Station. Police officers went to the house on Thursday, December 29 and broke the door with the help of welders and found Muthoni's lifeless body in the sitting room with no visible injuries.
“She must have been dead for at least three days,” a police officer privy to the investigations said.
Her boyfriend, who had travelled to his rural home, was immediately traced and arrested. He was taken to the Ruiru sub-county Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters for questioning whereby he told the police that he left Muthoni in his house on the fateful day and travelled to his parents’ home.
Police have since launched investigations into how she met her death.
DCI detectives on Friday, November 18 arrested the main suspect behind the brutal murder of Naneu Muthoni, who was found dead on Monday, November 14, at Onyonka estate in Lang'ata sub-county, Nairobi.
Thomas Muthee Ng’ang’a, who was the husband to the deceased was arrested along the Kenya-Uganda border in Malaba, where he was hiding since the murder was reported.
