24-year-old man confesses to killing 40-year-old partner in suspected love triangle

The man, identified as Mbuvi escaped death by a whisker when a mob descended on him after he said he killed his partner, Serah Mbuvi. 

Confirming the incident, Kyethani Location Chief, Mwikali Musili said the suspect admitted to have killed the woman after a disagreement.

“The suspect says that he lived with the woman, they were couples. Recently another man from Garissa came, and the wrangles began,” Mwikali said. 

The Chief added that the man, who killed the woman by hitting him with a wood, is not well known in the area. Only identified as Mbuvi, the man worked for the late Serah and had a romantic affair with her. 

Serah’s brother Daniel Mbuvi said a neighbor called him, informing him of the murder incident. 

“I don’t know where Mbuvi hails from, but he has been staying here for some time. On Saturday we had an event here and he said someone in this homestead will die before the week ended,” said Daniel Mbuvi.

The body of the deceased has been moved to Mwingi level 4 hospital mortuary and the suspect is receiving treatment at the same hospital.
