Lawrence Gitonga, the man who spent time with 19-year-old Joan Mbula at a rented apartment in Thome before she died under mysterious circumstances over the weekend, had reportedly met another woman in the same apartment hours before. According to the Nation, Gitonga checked into the Airbnb apartment with a mysterious woman at 6:30 PM.
They spent most of the evening together. The mysterious woman left at 11 PM.
Gitonga left the apartment and went to an entertainment joint in Roysambu where he reportedly met Joan, a student at Nairobi Aviation College. They returned to the apartment at 3 AM.
Mbula fell from the 10th floor and died on the spot. Her body was discovered on Saturday morning.
Gitonga was found lying unconscious in the bathroom with 8 stab wounds on his body, one on his back and the other seven on his chest.
He told police officers that he locked himself in the bathroom because he was bleeding so much and feared he would die from the stab wounds allegedly inflicted by Mbula.
He had no idea about the death of Mbula during interrogation. He even asked the police where she was.
He told police that the last thing he remembers is hitting and kicking the woman, who in turn stabbed him with a knife. When he realized he was bleeding badly, he reportedly rushed to the bathroom and locked himself in.
He said he couldn’t remember anything else. Gitonga is admitted at Kenyatta National Hospital under police watch.
