Detectives from the forensic crime scene investigations section, situated at the DCI National Forensic laboratory, conclusively documented patterns of blood splatter on the walls and floor of the one-bedroom residence.
Some of the deceased’s personal items were found on the suspect at the time of his arrest.
At the time this article was published, the suspect was being processed at the Malaba Police Station before being sent to the Langata Police Station, where he will be accused of murder in violation of sections 203 and 204 of the Penal Code and brought to trial to answer for his crimes.
