A student at Vera Beauty College in Eldoret was brutally murdered and her body dismembered at Moi's Bridge, Uasin Gishu County.
K24 Digital reported on Tuesday, October 1, that 21-year-old Emmah Wanyota was raped and her limbs cut off by a suspect identified as Mustafa.
Wanyota had allegedly rejected Mustafa’s advances, leading to a confrontation that ended in her death.
She was in her house when Mustafa reportedly visited and eventually used a blunt object to hit her on the head.
Her mother, Beatrice Luseno, recounted that she had left her daughter at home unharmed, only to come back to the horrifying traces of the barbaric act in her living room.
“When I got back home, I did not find my daughter in the house. I, however, found my living room in a total mess; blood splattered all over,” Luseno disclosed.
Police found the suspect with a laptop and phone belonging to the deceased and detained him at Moi's Bridge Police Station.
In a video published by the Daily Nation, parents disrupted transport at Moi’s Bridge over the brutal murder of Wanyota.
They camped at Moi’s Bridge Police Station demanding justice for the deceased who had only a month left to complete her studies.
The parents who were baying for the suspect's blood unsuccessfully urged the police to release him to them.
Police had to disperse the angry crowd before the situation spiralled out of control.
“Why are they throwing teargas at us while protecting the criminal with guns?” one woman was heard asking.
The body was later transferred to Kitale County Referral Hospital in Trans Nzoia County.
