Nairobi, Kenya – Police have apprehended a suspect in the brutal murder of 26-year-old socialite Starlet Wahu Mwangi, whose lifeless body was discovered in an Airbnb in the South B area of Nairobi. Wahu, who is the younger sister of a controversial evangelical pastor, was found to have been strangled and had suffered a deep cut wound on her thigh, severing a vein.
Authorities revealed that Wahu and the suspected murderer had been seen entering the Airbnb on January 3, and a guard at the apartment reported seeing the man leaving the next day with bloodied clothes, appearing disturbed and injured. The owner of the Airbnb was called to the scene and discovered Wahu’s naked body in the sitting room, indicating signs of a struggle. Upon the police’s arrival, a knife, two HIV test kits, and one used condom were recovered from the scene.
The police were informed that the suspect, who allegedly cut Wahu’s vein, causing her to bleed to death, had escaped the scene. However, he was later apprehended at a city hospital seeking medical attention, claiming that the deceased woman had attacked him, resulting in a fatal fight.
The suspect has since been arrested and appeared in court, where police successfully obtained custody orders to hold him for 21 days. CCTV footage capturing the last moments of Wahu showed her entering the apartment with a man in a denim shirt, appearing to be in good spirits. The motive behind the murder is currently under investigation.
In conclusion, the suspect has been arrested in connection with the murder of Starlet Wahu Mwangi, whose body was found in an Airbnb in Nairobi. The investigation is ongoing, and the suspect remains in custody following court orders.
