There has been an increase in crimes of passion with numerous cases being highlighted in the country.
In July 2021, the country was shocked after a Kenyan man confessed to police that he stabbed, burnt and disposed of his girlfriend's body before fleeing the country.
Lincoln Abraham Ng’iendo confessed to detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to killing Elizabeth Kiloko Nthei, a Kenyatta University student.
Ng'iendo stated that he sold his TV for Ksh21,000 because he was in need of the money for the second part of his plan. On October 22, he removed the body and drove to Ruiru, doused it with petrol and set it on fire.
He posed as a kidnapper and called Nthei's mother and asked for Ksh45,000 or he would kill her but the parents never sent the money. Ng'iendo went back to the house, cleaned it and burned Nthei's belongings before fleeing to Tanzania.
The suspect stayed in Tanzania for a while but on his way back to Kenya, immigration officers arrested him and he was jailed for 7 months before being freed and escorted to the Namanga border.
