"A team of detectives drawn from DCI HQs has arrested Bernard Ngugi Mbau, the prime suspect in the murder of a yet-to-be-identified middle-aged woman on 25th December 2024 in Nakuru. The suspect had run into hiding after committing the heinous murder," DCI said.
According to the DCI, Bernard, who was employed at a village within Rurii Location, killed the woman and stuffed her body remains in a sack before varnishing.
"On the fateful day, Bernard, who was employed at Ngomongo Village within Rurii Location, is said to have murdered the woman and inflicted multiple wounds on the victim's head and abdomen before stuffing her remains in a sack and bolting out of his staff quarter residence," the statement added.
Detectives stated that Benard's employer visited the staff quarters and discovered a stuffed sack soaked in blood before reporting the matter to Workers Police Patrol Base.
"Later, his employer is said to have visited the staff quarters where she discovered a stuffed sack soaked in a pool of blood, a hammer and a knife in a bucket- ? full of red coloured water and thereafter reported the matter at Workers Police Patrol Base," DCI stated.
