Another patient was Thursday killed in a ward at the Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi in a bizarre incident.
The patient was found dead in his bed with his throat slashed, police and hospital officials said.
The motive of the latest incident is yet to be known.
Witnesses said the victim was a physically disabled man.
The witness added the man had his throat slit.
The incident happened in ward seven on Thursday July 17.
Other patients told police and KNH officials an intruder went to the ward and killed the patient.
Kilimani police Commander Patricia Yegon and her DCI counterpart Hussein Mahat spent the better part of the afternoon Thursday at the scene as part of probe into the murder.
There was no immediate comment from the hospital.
An official said the matter is under probe and they will issue a statement later.
The police were reviewing CCTV footages at the hospital to determine the killer.
This is the second such incident to happen at the hospital this year after that of February 7, 2025.
Gilbert Kinyua Muthoni, 39, was last February found on a hospital bed with a slit throat.
Pathologists who conducted an autopsy on the body at the hospital mortuary said the slit was about three centimeters deep.
