KMTC Student Stabbed To Death By Girlfriend
A student with the Kenya Medical Training College in Kitale was stabbed and killed in a suspected fight with his girlfriend in their house.
Police said the assailant is missing after the murder incident on Sunday, December 1 in the Huruma area.
The deceased was identified as Benedict Kiptoo, 24 who was a clinical medicine student at the college.
He was stabbed once in the chest at his residence in the area after a fight with his lover, his neighbours told police.
His neighbours said they heard commotion from the house he stayed with the suspected assailant and on checking they found him lying in a pool of blood and wreathing in pain.
He had a deep stab wound in the chest.
The assailant who is known to him had escaped the scene, police said.
According to the police, a neighbour who is also a doctor at a private clinic in the area attended to Kiptoo by administering First Aid in vain.
The man was bleeding profusely which forced him to rush him to a nearby hospital.
Kiptoo died while being taken to hospital.
The body was taken to Cherengany Hospital Mortuary pending autopsy and other investigations.
Police said they visited the scene and recovered a kitchen knife that was used in the attack.
The team said they had established the two lived as lovers. They had argued after Kiptoo allegedly came home late leading to the fatal stabbing.
Efforts to trace the woman for grilling and possible arraignment are ongoing.
Police want her to surrender for processing.
Cases of murder are on the rise amid calls on parties to solve their differences amicably.
Police say they receive between eight and ten murder cases daily. Some of the cases have been solved while others are pending under probe.
Others are in court. Police have formed various sub-units under the Homicide Unit to solve the incidents so far reported.
The Homicide Unit has also been moved from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations headquarters along Kiambu Road to NairobiArea Regional offices to enhance their operations.
They will get all needed resources to address the cases, police authorities say.
