Woman murdered, body dumped in coffee plantation

Residents of Kahiro village in Ndia, Kirinyaga county, took to the streets after a 60-year-old woman was found murdered and the body dumped in a coffee plantation 500 metres away from her homestead.

Karia sub-location assistant chief Joseph Githinji suspects that the late Esther Wambui Muthike, was on her way home from Kahiro trading centre when she was accosted by unknown assailants.

"I was informed by the village elders about the body of a woman, so far, we do not know the motive as she still had Sh1,500 in her pocket and cabbages she had bought were scattered all over the crime scene," he said.

The deceased's sister, Mary Wamwirua, said they were informed about her death by a neighbour, who had gone to collect firewood.
