Separate incident in Kiambu
Elsewhere in Kiambu, police are burning the midnight oil to establish what led to the death of a missing female Kenyatta University (KU) student who was found dead at her boyfriend's house in Kahawa Wendani.
Police and parents said Victoria Muthoni Theuri who was pursuing Public Policy and Administration at the university was last seen on Christmas day.
At the time, she informed her parents that she was visiting her sister, before heading home. However, she failed to return home and her mobile phone was not reachable. Her parents called her sister to check whether she had stopped by.
Police noted that her sister said she had not seen Victoria prompting the parents to report the incident at the police station.
Victoria's body was discovered after neighbours who experienced a foul smell emerging from her boyfriend's apartment alerted the police.
"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 told a local publication.
Police who visited the scene found victoria's lifeless body with no visible injuries.
"She must have been dead for at least three days," an officer privy to the investigations said.
Police traced her boyfriend and arrested him before taking him to Ruiru sub-county Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for questioning. The suspect told police that he had left the deceased at his house while he travelled to his rural home.
