A 25-year-old university student at Tom Mboya University of Science and Technology has finally confessed to the brutal murder of his girlfriend Faith Misembi.
The suspect by the name of David Kioko was apprehended by police after preliminary investigations suggested that he killed Faith over alleged infidelity.
Kioko urge that Faith betrayed him after involving herself with five other men well known to him. “Alilala na Wanaume Watano”.
The slain first-year student at Mt. Kenya University was eight months pregnant at the time of her death and her lifeless body was discovered by her father in her rented room in Pilot Estate, Thika.
While recording statements with the police, Faith’s parents affirmed that they have been devastated by the loss of their daughter and unborn grandchild.
“We want the authorities to ensure that the person responsible for this heinous act is punished to the fullest extent of the law,” said Musembi’s father, Boniface Musembi.
Boniface Misembi continue to say that her daughter was brutally killed on Wednesday night and her lifeless body was discovered by her father in her rented room at Pilot Estate within Hospital Ward in Thika.
He added that he received a call on Wednesday from an unknown individual demanding a ransom of Ksh.20, 000 for the release of their daughter.
The caller was using the deceased’s phone. They hurriedly sent the money for the sake of their daughter’s life, while he left for Thika to pursue the matter.
He reported the matter at Thika Police Station but the officers allegedly downplayed the matter and dismissed it as a trick game by the deceased, her friends, or her boyfriend.
Dissatisfied with the services and response at the police station, he went to Mount Kenya University to seek help in finding the daughter.
It was already past midnight by then, hence he spent the night at the university.
On Thursday morning, Musembi went to the house where his daughter was residing but found it locked with a padlock.
He called out her name severally but there was no response.
He broke into the house and found her lifeless body lying in bed.
