The night Gilbert Kinyua was murdered at Kenyatta National Hospital was nothing short of terrifying. A patient who was in the same ward recalls hearing strange movements in the middle of the night, followed by muffled sounds that sent chills down his spine.
At first, he thought it was just another restless patient struggling to sleep. But moments later, a loud gasp filled the ward, followed by complete silence. The patient says he lay still, afraid to move. He could hear someone breathing heavily, as if panicked. Then, the sound of quick footsteps faded down the corridor.
It was not until a nurse walked in later that the horror was revealed as Kinyua lay motionless, blood staining his sheets. The nurse screamed, waking up everyone in the ward.
Kinyua had been admitted on December 11, seeking treatment, but his life was cut short in a way no one could explain. Investigators found a blood-stained kitchen knife near his bed, but there was no sign of a struggle. The attacker had moved swiftly, striking with deadly precision. How did they enter a hospital ward unnoticed? Did Kinyua know his killer?
Shaken patients and hospital staff have been left in fear. If such a brutal act could happen in a place meant for healing, is anyone truly safe? Kenyans online have reacted with shock, demanding answers. Many have sent condolences to Kinyua’s family, hoping justice will be served.
As detectives dig deeper, questions keep piling up. Who was behind the killing? Was it a planned attack, or a crime of opportunity? Until answers are found, the hospital remains haunted by the mystery of that dreadful night.
