The gruesome murder of 29-year-old Monica Nyawira Kimani was the work of two men well known to her, police probing the murder believe.
Nyawira’s brother George Kimani said the family was informed by a neighbor at her apartment that on the fateful night their sister was with two men who she introduced by names.
“When I arrived at the house on Thursday night at around 11 pm, I talked to a neighbour who told me he had seen two men who my sister introduced by name. The name given of one of the men was familiar,” Kimani said.
The family has, however, being unable to milk more information from the neighbor at Lamuria Gardens apartment as he has reportedly ‘moved’.
“We tried to go back to the place but the guards told us the neighbor moved,” a family source said.
Investigators handling the heinous murder did not reveal if they have talked to the said neighbor only saying there are crucial leads.
Nyawira touched down at the JKIA airport on Wednesday, September 20 before she was picked by a taxi to her house.
Immediately she touched down, they had a brief phone call with her brother.
Later that night, however, she failed to return calls and WhatsApp chats sent to her phone which left the family worried as ‘it was not usual’.
When the family went to check on her Thursday, they found the doors locked and her brother went in through the window only to find her neck slaughtered and the body dumped into a bathtub.
The killers carried her house and car keys.
And the CCTV cameras at the posh estate were reportedly not working on the day she came with the friends.
In the house, there were two glasses of wine, the TV was on high volume and the bathtub was running.
Nyawira went to South Sudan in 2013 where she joined the Kenyan Embassy as an intern.
After her internship, she joined family members for business.
As of going to press, we had not established what business the family was dealing in.
A family source said if arrangements do not change, she will be buried on Friday, September 28.
