Detectives find body of officer murdered at her house, suspect lover

Hellen Kwamboka, police officer found murdered at her Umoja house, Nairobi.

The body of Hellen Kwamboka, a police officer attached to Parliament Police Station, has been found dumped at her Umoja house in Nairobi.

It is alleged she was murdered on Friday morning.

Officers who were on duty with Kwamboka suspected something was amiss when she did not pick up her phone or report for duty. It is when they decided to go to her Umoja house on Gaikuyu Road.

According to a police report, on arriving, DCI officers from Buru Buru found the house locked from the inside and suspected something ‘unusual.’

The body of the officer was found on her bed with a deep cut on her head and blood stains all over the house.

It is also reported that there were signs of strangulation on Kwamboka's neck.

Police are pursuing her boyfriend as a possible murder suspect as they believe he killed her before escaping. The lover had earlier visited Kwamboka before committing the alleged crime.

No murder weapon was discovered at the crime scene nor the deceased’s mobile phone.

The body of the deceased has been moved to Chiromo mortuary in Nairobi.
