Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are investigating an incident where a Kenyan woman was brutally murdered at her apartment in Nairobi’s Kilimani estate.
The lifeless body of Monica Kimani was found by her brother George dumped in a bathtub inside her apartment located along Kitale Lane off Denis Pritt Rd. Her throat had been slit.
“….tulivunja mlango tukaingia, nilipata amekatwa shingo na ako dipped in a bathtub with her hands tied and the water was running,” George said.
The body of the 29-year-old businesswoman was found at around 1pm on Thursday. Circumstances around her death are still unclear.
Monica had just returned to the country from South Sudan where she runs a family business and had reportedly met two friends at her house that night.
“I came to check on her since my mother had called and she wasn’t picking. I sent her a message but she never replied yet we were to meet, since she was to travel to Dubai today (Friday) for a holiday,” the brother added.
Speaking to Citizen TV, Monica’s father said she had purchased a house in Ruaka, but moved to the Kilimani apartment three months ago becuase she wanted to liver near the city.
“I could have paid to save her life if it was a possibility. What we are requesting for is to know her killers and why she was killed,” he said.
This is why I get Upset when…
This is why I get Upset when some people say “Our Great Country” refering to Kenya. Anyway the 2 Friends; where are they to say something? RIP.
I feel your frustration but…
I feel your frustration but the very same heinous crime do happen everywhere in the world including US on a daily basis. Greatness is not the absence of evil- sometimes we’re great because of how much evil we’ve overcome. Give Kenya a chance; besides, no matter where we settle after leaving Kenya, we’ll always be from Kenya. It’s up to Kenya now to bring into book those/ that coward who took away such a beautiful and young lady.RIP.
On this very page, A Kenyan…
On this very page, A Kenyan woman just killed her husband. Would you extend the same sentiment to United States?
A beautiful successful life…
A beautiful successful life cut short in a most brutal manner. Family and friends must be devastated. The great state of California had 1,930 murders in 2016. That’s why I get mad when people say USA is the greatest country. Assuming murders and greatness are inversely propotional as one of us implied.
The government should come…
The government should come up with strict measures on people who kill there should be no bond for the murderers
I feel for the family.May…
I feel for the family.May God give them strength. We must appreciate Kenya is a great country. In western countries a lot of people die every year. The fact that they are not publicised in Africa, does not make them save. Let us take steps in improving our countries for posterity. God give us wisdom. God help Kenya !!!
