Gruesome Murder in Roysambu: Key Suspect Apprehended, Details Emerge

Nairobi, Kenya: In a swift operation, Kenyan police have apprehended at least three individuals linked to the brutal murder of a 20-year-old woman in TRM Drive, Roysambu. The main suspect, believed to be a Nigerian national, was nabbed at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Monday evening as he attempted to flee to Abuja. Two accomplices are currently in custody at Kasarani police station.

Authorities remain tight-lipped about the victim’s identity due to the ongoing investigation. However, chilling details of the crime have emerged. The suspect reportedly employed a hacksaw to dismember the woman’s body, severing limbs and separating the head from the torso. He then wrapped the remains in a bedsheet and paper bag, leaving gruesome marks on the body.

Investigators suspect the act was a contract killing, with the dismembered body serving as grim proof of completion for the man’s “masters.” CCTV footage and phone data placed the suspect in the Ruaka area of Kiambu County, prompting police to request surveillance footage from local buildings. This evidence aims to corroborate his identity, captured earlier outside the murder scene.

While the motive remains unclear, police confirmed the body’s dismemberment. The victim’s family, who visited City Mortuary to identify her, were advised to await further analysis before any information regarding her identity is released.

This heinous crime highlights the need for heightened vigilance and strengthened security measures. As the investigation unfolds, Kenyans await further updates, hoping for swift justice for the victim and her family.
