Police in Nakuru County have launched a manhunt for a tenant accused of stabbing his landlord in Karagita, Naivasha on Monday.
The accused allegedly assaulted the landlord when he came to issue a vacate notice, after which an argument ensued over Sh6,000 unpaid rent.
John Kimathi, a neighbour, said that the accused stabbed the landlord on the chest, resulting to his death while being rushed to the Naivasha Sub County Hospital.
“The landlord had come to issue a vacate notice to the tenant and was stabbed several times on the chest," the witness told the Standard.
He added that the accused had not paid rent for three months.
The incident was confirmed by Naivasha OCPD Samuel Waweru, who said that the wife of the accused, who was present during the incident, is helping the police with the probe.
“We have questioned his wife who was present during the incident as part of the investigations,” said the police boss.
