It has now emerged that Naftali Njahi Kinuthia, the suspect in the bloody murder of Moi University School of Medicine Student Ivy Wangechi was her former classmate.
As Kenyans continue to elicit mixed reactions following the scary murder, it has also been revealed that the killer monitored the moves of the deceased before taking away her life in a scary episode.
On the fateful day of her murder, Wangechi started her day in a jovial mood at the Nyayo General Ward at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, little did she know that her killer was on the ground ready to execute his mission.
The killer reportedly travelled all the way from Thika to Eldoret to finish his evil mission.
He allegedly parked his car outside the Emergency wing of the facility before taking the next step. It remains unclear why no one suspected the killer was up to something evil before the incident occurred.
He reportedly alighted from the car with concealed weapons at 10 am and waited for her to appear. The events that occurred in between remain scanty.
She was found lying dead in a pool of blood following the hacking.
She managed to scream but the efforts to save her life proved futile. The two, who are said to have been dating, were apparently not in good terms before the incident.
A friend, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the killer wanted to marry her but she declined his advances.
“Wangechi showed us the messages he had been sending to her expressing his love. She told us they were schoolmates in primary school but had lost touch until last year when they met on Facebook,” said the friend as quoted by Daily Nation.
