A foreign national detained in connection with murder of Kenyan woman

Kenyan police arrested a person from another country for killing a 20-year-old Kenyan student.

He got arrested on Tuesday when he tried to leave Kenya with a Mozambican passport, according to the authorities.

Rita Waeni’s body was found cut into pieces last Sunday at a temporary apartment in Nairobi.

Her family thinks that someone tricked her and then tried to get money from them, even after they killed her.

The person who killed Ms. Waeni sent three messages from her phone on Sunday morning. They said her family had to pay 500,000 Kenyan shillings (about $3,100 or £2,400) within 24 hours to get her back. Her family told this on Wednesday.

Her head was cut off and her body was discovered soon after.

“Unfortunately, the family didn’t get more information about the ransom or a chance to try this option. ” In addition, the family said that some requests were made after she had already been killed. They said this in a statement on Wednesday.

The police are searching for Ms. Waeni’s head, which was taken by the person who killed her, along with her phone and other things that belonged to her.

The family said that their lives have been completely destroyed by the murder, especially because of the way she was killed.

The police are also trying to find out if the person captured by security cameras picking up the keys to the rental apartment is the same as the suspect.

Two more people who may have been involved in the murder have been taken into custody.

Investigators looked at Ms. Waeni’s Instagram and think that the person who killed her tricked her using the app.

She was in her last year of studying at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.

Many people in Kenya are very upset and angry about the recent killing of Ms. Waeni and other women. This has led to an online campaign to protect girls and women.

Less than two weeks ago, a popular person from Kenya was also killed in a similar way.
