Police in Kahawa West, Kiambu County, are investigating another case of femicide where the body of a lady was found dead in her boyfriend’s house last week on Friday.
According to the report, Lilian Achieng Aluko is suspected of having been brutally murdered by her boyfriend on Friday who later vanished.
The police have since launched a manhunt for the suspect.
The late was a presenter at Radio 44, a local radio station and was found dead at her boyfriend’s house with injuries on her face and a stab wound at the back.
She had informed her family on Thursday she would be spending the night at her boyfriend’s place, which would be the last time they saw her alive.
“She left at around 11 am and told me she went to her friend. She did not return. On Friday, minutes to 9, I received a call from an unknown number informing her of her demise.”
According to a police report, Lilian was found with visible facial injuries and a stab wound behind her right ear.
The report further discloses that the two had returned home after visiting a local entertainment joint. Soon after, neighbours reported hearing sounds of violent altercations but they were unable to intervene as the door was locked and the stereo volume was loud.
A knife believed to be the murder weapon used in the gruesome act was recovered at the scene.
The family is now calling on the police to arrest the suspect, who remains at large.
Lilians incident becomes the latest incident in a troubling rise in femicide cases in the country.
