Lover Stabs Cop To Death, Drags Him From House To Neighbour’s Plot
A police officer from Tana River County succumbed to knife wounds on Wednesday morning.
According to police reports, the officer posted at Kilelengwani Patrol Base in the Tana Delta sub-county was killed by his lover.
Detectives attached to the case revealed the duo lived together in a rental apartment at the Chuma Mrefu trading center.
On a fateful day, neighbors stated that they were woken at 3 am by the police and lover’s heated argument. They, however, could not ascertain the cause of the night wrangle.
The 35-year-old woman from Meru County then allegedly stabbed the officer with a kitchen knife, with the fight escalating to the neighboring plot.
Eyewitnesses added that the officer, who was bleeding profusely from the stab wounds, succumbed to the injuries on his neck and forehead moments later.
