Detectives in Embakasi have launched investigations into the gruesome murder of a young woman, who was reportedly strangled to death by two unidentified men in the Jua Kali area of Embakasi, Nairobi.
According to reports, the horrifying incident occurred around midnight, with three local residents raising the alarm after responding to a distress call.
The witnesses reported hearing a commotion near their homes and rushed to the scene, only to find two men allegedly assaulting the victim. However, the suspects fled into the darkness upon realizing they had been spotted.
The witnesses immediately reported the incident to Embakasi Police Station, prompting officers, including a team from the Nairobi Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) unit, to visit the location.
Upon arrival, authorities found the lifeless body of a young woman, believed to be in her early 20s, lying at the scene.
Her undergarments had been lowered, and visible strangulation marks were found on her neck, pointing to the possibility of sexual violence before the murder.
Crime scene experts documented the scene and collected evidence as part of the investigation. The woman’s body has since been transferred to the City Mortuary, where an autopsy will be conducted to establish the exact cause of death. Authorities are also working to identify the victim and apprehend the perpetrators.
Residents have called for swift justice, urging law enforcement agencies to enhance security in the area to curb rising cases of violent crime. The police have assured the public that efforts to track down the suspects are underway.
