ANOTHER BIZARRE AIRBNB MURDER!

Residents of Naivasha are shaken by the weekend murder of a woman whose throat was slit with a knife.

The identity of the killer was not known but a phone possibly belonging to him, or the victim was found.

The knife believed used in the murder was found. The body was found on Sunday in a dingy lodging in the town center as cases of murdered women keep rising.

Increasing cases of femicide have caused an uproar in Kenya and other African countries. Kenya has set up a task force to investigate and reduce the killings.

Naivasha OCPD Stephen Kirui said the woman and a man checked into the lodging along Kariuki Chotara Road hours before the body was recovered. He said workers in the morning found the room unlocked and found the body on the bed, its sheets soaked in blood.

“From initial investigations, the victim was not sexually abused but the killer used a sharp knife to slit her throat before fleeing,” he said.

Kirui said investigating officers were going through the mobile phone found at the murder scene.
