Two middle aged men were arrested on Tuesday night for allegedly robbing a resident and killing her in Musambani Sub Location.
The suspects invaded the victim’s house and escaped with cereals, while squeezing her neck when she tried to raise an alarm and call for help.
Musambani Sub Location Assistant Chief Kyalo Ngundi confirmed the incident and said that the victim was found dead in her home by residents who informed the police and the two suspects were arrested.
“The lady was found already dead in her house. After some interrogations and investigations we managed to arrest two suspects in connection to the murder and theft. The victim was attacked at night and when she tried to scream for help the invaders killed her,” said Ngundi.
Ngundi added that the two suspects are helping the police in investigating the incident and they will be arraigned in court after the investigations are completed.
He further said that the community policing team will cooperate with the police in night patrols in order to ensure security is maintained to all residents.
The body of the victim was taken by police to Mwingi Hospital Mortuary.
