House Help Fatally Attacks Kilifi County Chief Officer
Rahab Karisa, the chief county officer for Kilifi’s Fisheries and Blue Economy, was wounded by her housekeeper on Thursday, July 20.
Dominick Otieno, a leading DCI officer in Kilifi County, verified the incident to GossipA2Z.
“Yes, I can confirm that the incident occurred and that it is being investigated, but only the CCIO can provide additional information,” the DCI officer said.
David Siele, the County Criminal Investigation Officer (CCIO), was similarly cagey with additional information but stated that the police would issue an initial report by the end of the day.
According to witnesses, Karisa returned from a business journey to Europe on Wednesday, July 19.
“We visited the crime location and were able to recover the murder weapon. She had a visible wound, but we hope to learn more after an autopsy,” Ms. Hadi said.
Neighbors who spoke with GossipA2Z disclosed that the woman had previously worked for Ms. Karisa. According to reports, her corpse was discovered face down in a pool of blood in her bedroom.
Also discovered were dispersed papers on the bed and floor.
The police are investigating reports that the housekeeper stabbed her employer after discovering that money was missing from the residence.
