Elias Mutugi Njeru, 35, is likely to face attempted murder charges after allegedly stabbing his girlfriend Florence Wanjiku Gichohi with a knife following a domestic fight at their home in Kiamunyi last week.
"Elias, a suspect in a case of attempted murder reported at Menengai Police Station, surrendered at this station in the company of his lawyer Gakuhi Chege and associates advocates. He has been re-arrested and placed in custody while appearing fit pending collection by Menengai police station," a police report stated.
