The deceased is believed to have been killed in cold blood by his girlfriend following a bitter argument over an unspecified issue.

Detectives in Ongata Rongai police station have arrested a suspect believed to be behind the gruesome murder of a 47-year-old man, who was brutally murdered in his house on Saturday night. 

In an update by DCI on Sunday, November 20, the deceased identified as Kennedy Bitonye Oyatsi, who is a driver at the Kenya School of Law, is believed to have been killed in cold blood by his girlfriend Jacklyn Zakayo, 27, following a bitter argument over an unspecified issue.

According to shocked neighbours, a commotion followed by loud screams were heard from their rented house last  prompting them to rush to the scene in aid of the deceased.

The scene of crime 

Upon arrival, neighbours noticed patterns of blood splatter which littered the floor of the house and the murder weapon, a broken kitchen knife.

Efforts by the well wishers to rush Oyatsi to nearby Sinai hospital turned futile after he was declared dead on arrival. Crime scene detectives based at the DCI national forensic laboratory documented the scene and recovered the murder weapon for further analysis.

Detectives are currently interviewing more witnesses in a bid to unravel the actual events preceding the murder.
