Shock and grief have hit Kambi Moto village in Ruiru, Kiambu County after a decomposing body of a middle-aged woman was recovered today inside a single-roomed rental house of a man believed to be her boyfriend.

Owing to the foul smell and the gravity of the body’s rottenness, police suspected that the deceased might have been killed a week ago.

Neighbors claimed that the suspected prime killer was living with the body since he brutally murdered the woman as he had been entering and leaving the house and was last seen exiting the now scene of crime today morning.

According to neighbours, the slain woman was an infrequent visitor in the house and was often seen hanging clothes inside the plot.

She was last seen entering the house on Sunday afternoon but has never been seen leaving the same room since.


Led by John Ngara, the neighbours said they had not suspected of murder until a foul smell started emanating from the room with a swarm of flies seen entering and leaving the run-down house from the ventilation.

The neighbours said they broke the door only to find the decomposing body of a woman wrapped in a nylon polythene paper and whose trouser has been removed halfway.

Mary Kibathi, a local, said such incidents were rare in the area and urged youngsters especially females to desist from persevering relationships that could end up taking away their lives.

Detectives said that the body of the slain woman had been strangled pointing to a possible torture before her killing was executed.

Ruiru Sub-County police commander Phineas Ringera stated that a collaboration between his officers, chiefs and locals led to the arrest of Franklin Munyao, the main suspect who works at a restaurant within a petrol station along Thika road.

Ringera said that the killer strangled the woman to death but due to the gravity of the body’s decomposition, a further analysis on the body through a postmortem would be required to ascertain the real cause of death.

The body was moved to General Kago mortuary in Thika where an autopsy exercise will be carried out.
