Following the brutal killing of a 22-year-old Egerton University student, whose lifeless body was found dumped in the shallow waters of river Subuku in Njoro, Nakuru County on December 7th, last year, detectives have since arrested the suspected perpetrators.
In a murder most foul, Eunice Muthoni Njeri who was a 4th year student at the Njoro based University, was first strangled before her killers dumped her body in river Subuku. This revelation followed an autopsy conducted by Dr. Wangari Wambugu,
at the Egerton University Funeral home on December 10, 2020. Detectives believe that Njeri was murdered by her friends, after one of them suspected that she was engaged in a love affair with her husband. The two friends Diana Njeri Muthiomi and Tamar Wambora Njeru
Ever heard of a dead person literally stealing from another dead victim? That was the case with the Rev Peter Kania Kariuki, the PCEA Secretary-General who died of Covid-19 related complications on July 26, 2020, and Nairobi businessman Amos Ngata Muiruri,
who died after a botched surgery almost four months later on November 22, 2020. Both men died at the Nairobi Hospital.
Hardly a week after Ngata was buried at his farm in Ndunyu Njeru, Nyandarua County, on December 2, 2020,
one of his sons discovered that the father’s telephone which he used for mobile bank transactions when he was alive had suddenly gone dead. The line – 0722720930 - was swiftly activated on another unknown phone.

The Director DCI has sanctioned far reaching reforms in the Land Fraud Investigations Unit. In part of the changes made made yesterday, a total of 26 detectives with professional background in land survey, land economics, land physical planning and administration among other

This morning some minutes past midnight, our officers rescued four boys aged between 14-15 years and two young adults of 18 & 19 years, from the yoke of sodomy.
In a horror-like scene visited by Maara sub-County Criminal Investigations head & his Kenya Police counterparts, the boys were found sleeping on the floor in the perpetrator’s house in within Chogoria Township.
Shockingly, the perpetrator of this beastly crime is a Chief Inspector of Police, in-charge of a Police Post within Chogoria, who is supposed to safeguard the rights of such victims as a law enforcement officer.
