Family seeks justice as son stabbed 27 times by girlfriend in Ruiru

The family, which resides in Nairobi’s Saika Estate, claims that despite glaring evidence linking the suspect to the killing, little is being done to have the suspect face the law.

Conrad's father says his son, the third born in a family of five, met his tragic death at the hands of an estranged girlfriend. The family claims the deceased died from excessive bleeding after being stabbed 27 times.

The family alleges that Conrad had visited the girlfriend in Kamakis to sort issues affecting their relationship. The late-night invitation would be the end of their love life and the start of a homicide investigation.

Police identified the murder suspect as one Salome Wanjiru. The murder case was reported at Gatongora Police Station within Ruiru on the 17th of December, 2024.

The suspect is expected to take a plea on Thursday at the Thika High Court.
