25-year-old murder suspect Brian Waweru will be in police custody for the next 14 days to allow police conclude investigations into the murder of his girlfriend Evelyne Wanjiru.
Brian confessed to killing his 24-year-old girlfriend on the night of January
1 in Ndenderu, Kiambu County, after a heated argument.
Augustine Mutembei,
DCI, Kiambu, said: “Brian fatally assaulted Wanjiru with a sharp object. Immediately after the assault, Brian covered
the body with a blanket and cushions and left the house to an unknown place.”
Nelly Kimacia, who is Brian's aunt, was the
first to discover the remains of Wanjiru on Tuesday, in a single room rented at
Ndenderu.
“Saa ile nilifungua
tu mlango hivi niliona miguu nikashtuka...ata hiyo harufu niliskia tu nikifunga…nilishindwa
kuingia,” said Kimacia.
Brian was arrested on Thursday afternoon, he
confessed to the murder and led officers to the house where he had hidden the
weapon of murder.
“Our officers managed
to arrest Brian in his hideout within Ndenderu area and upon interrogations, he
confessed to committing the heinous crime,” added Mutembei.
Brian is reported to have had a dispute with Wanjiru
on many occasions, the two were not in talking terms since October last year
when he allegedly assaulted the deceased.
He was then arrested but later released on
cash bail. He is reported to have tricked her to join him during the Christmas
and New Year period before committing the crime.
The body of the deceased was taken to the
Kihara level four hospital on Tuesday night.
The case will be mentioned on January 20,
2022.
