Mystery surrounds an incident in which a 39-year-old man killed himself moments after stabbing his 30-year-old girlfriend in an apartment in Juja town, Kiambu County.
Juja Sub-county police commander Phyllis Muthoni said Daniel Mwangi stabbed his girlfriend Jane Njogu in the back and in the stomach using a kitchen knife where she bled to death.
Mwangi went ahead to slit his throat in an attempt to take his own life.
Police who were called to the scene rushed him to Thika Level 5 Hospital where he succumbed.
Police found the body of the lady lying in a pool of blood with four stab wounds and it was transferred to Thika’s General Kago Funeral home.
It is believed that the two were fighting over infidelity, but police have launched investigations to establish what led to the murder of the 30-year-old woman who was operating an MPESA shop at Juja town.
Police have recently raised concern over the increased cases of murder in the county, calling upon counselors to help manage the cases.
