Police officers have launched a manhunt for a man suspected of killing his girlfriend in cold blood before taking flight in Molo, Nakuru County.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Moses Njeri is believed to have stabbed his 28-year-old girlfriend Hannah Ndirangu on the chest before escaping, following a heated argument over an unspecified issue.
“The woman’s neighbours from the sleepy Tayari farm were the first to stumble on the deceased’s lifeless body, after gaining access to her wooden house through an opening in one of the walls. The suspect is believed to have escaped through the opening of the house,” the DCI reported in a statement.
The incident shocked residents of the sleepy backwater township after the gruesome discovery.
Detectives based at DCI Molo who rushed to the scene after being notified of the incident recovered a bloodstained vegetable knife, suspected to be the murder weapon.
“Crime Scene experts processed the scene before transferring the deceased’s body to Molo Sub-County hospital, and a manhunt for the murder suspect was immediately launched,” the DCI added.
