A man suspected of killing his girlfriend in Nairobi has been arrested.
The suspect was arrested in a house in Kitale town by detectives who had been trailing him.
Embakasi OCPD Apollo Wanyonyi said the suspect would appear in court today to take a murder plea.
“After he was arrested in Kitale, he was brought to Nairobi where he was interrogated before he takes plea,” said Wanyonyi.
The suspect has been on the run since December 17 when his girlfriend Charity Mukami Wachira, 24, went missing. She was later found dead in their house in Nyayo Embakasi estate.
Police said the suspect never responded to calls to his cellphone after the body of the woman was discovered.
Mukami’s decomposing body was found on December 22, 2015.
Wanyonyi had appealed to the suspect to surrender to police and explain himself in connection with the death of his girlfriend.
The bloodied body was found in bed with clothes strewn all over. Mukami’s father Peter Wachira said the last time he talked to his daughter was on December 17.
A foul smell from the house made the neighbours to contact police who broke in and found the body.
The family complained they did not know Mukami and the suspect were married.
A post-mortem examination showed the woman had six stab wounds in the neck.
