At least four women are at the centre of investigations as detectives try to establish who among them might have been directly involved in the death of Erick Maigo Onchari, the acting finance director at Nairobi Hospital.
As detectives pursue a possible crime of passion angle, they are also widening their scope to his place of work where he had recently been elevated. Already one woman identified as Cynthia Lusenga Andayo alias Flora Akoth Okonda is in police custody. She was arraigned in court in connection with Maigo's murder on Tuesday.
Akoth was the third woman to have been in the company of Maigo who was stabbed 25 times in the chest, neck, and face inside his house in Woodley Annex on the night of either September 14 or September 15. He died from internal and external bleeding, according to an autopsy conducted by Chief Government Pathologist Dr Johansen Oduor.
