Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have launched a manhunt for foreign national suspected to have murdered his lover in Nyali, Mombasa.

According to the detectives, the suspect identified as Muyanga Suleiman threw his lover from the balcony of their bedroom in Nyali's Sunny Side apartments.

“The suspect believed to be a foreign national immediately fled the scene after committing the crime in the devils hour, leaving other holiday makers in the apartment heavily shaken. A guard at the apartment was on the beat walking around his area of assignment, when he heard delirious screams of a woman from the skies, followed by a loud bang metres from where he was standing,” said DCI.

The victim died on the spot.

Upon rushing to the apartment where the victim had been thrown from, the guard and a janitor found its door wide open and the suspect was missing before raising the issue with detectives based in Nyali.

“The guard identified as Parsaoti Ole Morinket, took flight towards the janitor’s room, where he informed him of the incident. Together, they visited the scene and established that the lifeless body belonged to a 25-year-old woman, who had earlier in the night been invited to room A10, by a man named Muyanga Suleiman,” added DCI.

Detectives search the house but the suspect was nowhere to be seen.

Crime scene detectives processed the scene and gathered information regarding the incident, before finally transferring the body of the deceased to the morgue.

A manhunt for the suspect has been launched.
