A 52-year-old man reportedly stubbed a woman to death before turning the knife on himself, after she rejected his advances.
The incident, which took place in Isiolo town, shocked many of the revelers and barmaids, as the man went on a rampage attacking people at the joint.
According to witnesses, the man; identified as Timothy Mbogo, stabbed himself several times after stubbing his victim, during the early Monday morning incident.
He is said to have attacked and injured one of the barmaids, leaving her with injuries from knife stubs.
Mbogo is said to have died an hour after he was taken to hospital.
“He actually tried to force her out of the bar and when she resisted, he swore he would kill her. He drew a sword from his jacket and stabled her several times,” said one of the barmaids as quoted by the Standard.
County police boss Charles Ontita confirmed the incident, further saying the man is a criminal, who had previously been convicted of murder in Embu County.
“The bar attendant is also admitted in hospital but she is in stable condition,” said Ontita.
He added: “The victim’s body has been taken to the mortuary awaiting a postmortem,”
