“Purity Wangechi’s body which bore visible stab wounds and strangulation marks was discovered yesterday morning by the roadside close to Mburiria estate, in Kiambu county.

Detectives said that On Friday, Wangeci left school to go and meet him in Kirigiti to rekindle that their love.
“During the early morning raid, the officers also recovered a vegetable knife that was carefully concealed in his waistband and which was used in stabbing the innocent teenage student, whose only mistake was falling in love with a thug.”
“The detectives also discovered the scene of the murder that was preserved for forensic examination by Crime scene personnel based at the DCI National Forensic Laboratory.
Meanwhile, the three suspects have been placed in custody for the offence of murder contrary to Section 203 as read with Section 204 of the Penal Code.”
