Police probe
Preliminary investigations by the police indicated that the ex-husband had been seen in the house by the caretaker.
“The deceased ex-husband was seen in the residence by the caretaker the night before and in the morning. Neighbours heard screams from the house but were not bothered,” the report stated.
The body of the deceased was taken to Kenyatta University Memorial Funeral Home awaiting an autopsy.
In another incident in Kasarani, a 26-year-old man was shot and seriously injured after fighting with armed robbers.
The victim identified as Silas Ondiek reported to police that while walking home, he was stopped by men who were riding on a motorcycle and ordered to surrender the laptop that he was carrying.
He defied the order and this prompted them to shoot him on the thigh before grabbing his phone and escaping.
The police recovered a spent cartridge which was taken for ballistic examination.
Ondiek was rushed to hospital where he was treated and he is in stable condition.
