Residents of Mugumoini village in Nyangati location, Mwea, Kirinyaga County, were left in shock yesterday after the body of a 28 year old Junior Secondary School (JSS) teacher was discovered dumped near Nyamindi River under suspicious circumstances.
The deceased, identified as Betty Wanjiru Nyaga, was found with severe injuries on the head, thighs and legs, as well as bruises on the face, indicating that she may have been brutally attacked before her body was abandoned at the scene.
Preliminary investigations by detectives suggest that the location where the body was found may not be the primary crime scene.
Investigators believe the killing could have occurred elsewhere before the body was transported and dumped near the river.
Police further revealed that the victim’s boyfriend is the main suspect in the case.
Detectives established that shortly after the suspected killing, the man allegedly set ablaze their four roomed house, which was completely destroyed by fire.
Police suspect the house may have been the primary crime scene where the fatal attack occurred before attempts were made to conceal evidence.
The body of the slain teacher was later moved to Kibugi Funeral Home as investigations continue.
Police have since launched a manhunt for the suspect who remains at large as detectives intensify efforts to establish the full circumstances surrounding the killing.

Residents and activists from Angata Barrikoi are demanding answers regarding the sudden disappearance of political activist Johana Kamilan.
The activist reportedly went missing on Thursday night from his home in Kiletein Village, an area within Angata Barrikoi.

According to residents, Johana Kamilan was last seen at his residence on Thursday evening before he mysteriously vanished later that night.
Since then, his family, friends, and fellow activists have been unable to establish his whereabouts.
The lack of clear information about what happened to him has raised alarm among the people of Angata Barrikoi, many of whom believe that authorities should provide an explanation.
In response to the incident, large groups of residents and activists organized demonstrations in the area, calling on government officials to clarify the situation.
Protesters demanded that local leaders, including area chiefs and other government representatives, provide truthful information about the disappearance.
They insisted that if Kamilan is in the custody of any security agency, the authorities should openly confirm it.
The demonstrators emphasized that their main demand is transparency and adherence to the rule of law.
They called upon the government to reveal where Kamilan is being held and ensure that he is produced in court if he has been arrested.
Many residents stressed that every citizen has the right to due process and that any arrest should follow the legal procedures established by law.

They urged the government to act quickly to address the situation and reassure the public that justice and accountability will prevail.
As the protests continued, the residents of Angata Barrikoi maintained that their demonstrations were peaceful and aimed solely at seeking answers.
They appealed to local leaders and national authorities to intervene and help resolve the matter by providing clear information about the whereabouts of the activist.
Until then, the community says it will continue to demand transparency and justice, hoping that the truth surrounding the disappearance of Johana Kamilan will soon come to light.
