Kilifi County Fisheries and Blue Economy Chief Officer Rahab Karisa is dead.
Rahab was allegedly stabbed to death by her house help in Mnarani, Kilifi county on Thursday, July 20 morning, police said.
She had returned to the country Wednesday from a trip to Italy.
According to a guard, the house help who has so far escaped from the scene is still missing.
This is after she jumped over the perimeter wall when security officers from a private firm arrived for morning duties.
The house help was fleeing with a child of the deceased when the guards arrived.
The motive of the attack is yet to be known. A hunt for the woman is ongoing.
Kilifi County police commander Fatuma Hadi said police are investigating the murder.
