Police in Machakos are investigating the circumstances under which a woman was killed at night.
Faith Mueni, 35, and her husband Harrison Mutisya, went to sleep after taking their meals on Friday last week at their home in Kikumbo village, Kalama sub-county.
The next day, however, Mueni was found dead in bed with her husband missing. Her body was found in a pool of blood and had deep panga cuts on her head.
Richard Muiva and Florence Muiva, the deceased's parents-in-law reported the matter to the Assistant Chief and later to Konza Police Station.
