An unidentified naked man charged into the Embakasi Police Station on Saturday night, June 13, seeking protection from a Kenyan Defence Forces (KDF) officer who was hot on his heels.
According to the man, the dramatic event kicked off when his girlfriend's 'late' husband suddenly budged into their house and found them together.
"The lady told me she was a widow and that her husband had died during the Dusit D2 terror attack.
"I didn't know the husband was not only alive but was also a KDF officer stationed in Nanyuki barracks," the frightened man remarked while begging for shelter at the precinct.
He maintained his innocence while constantly looking over his shoulder in fear for his life, as the irate military officer seemed to be out for vengeance.
The latest case involving a love triangle adds to the list of several other similar instances, some of which are murder related.
On January 26, 2019, Mary Wambui, wife to Joseph Kori, was found dead and dumped in a dam in Juja.
The postmortem found that she had suffered nine killer blows to the head at her Four Ways Junction Estate on the Kiambu-Nairobi Road.
CCTV footage from the victim's home showed Wangui entering the residence at about 6:24 p.m. in Wambui’s white Mercedes Benz.
The car is then reported to have left at 9:57 p.m. with one person who detectives said was Wangui who later returned at the residence at 11 p.m. in a different car.
Taxi driver Michael Mathenge was the other suspect in the high profile case where both were faced with murder charges. Their case is currently ongoing.
In a similar incident, the body of Eric Oloo, a Siaya based correspondent with The Star newspaper was found lying in a pool of blood in the bedroom of a female chief inspector of police attached to Ugunja police station in November 2019.
Preliminary investigations into the incident indicated that the journalists had been cohabiting with the officer for some time before two men showed up and violently threw him out of the house in a case that witnesses claim was a love triangle that turned tragic.
On August 30, 2019, a former police officer - Leonard Kanaru, was found guilty of manslaughter after killing a credit officer in an alleged love triangle.
Kanari had been charged with killing Christopher Muganda on the night of May 26 and 27, 2016 at Icon Flat, Garden estate, Kasarani, when an argument broke out over a woman.
