A young
Kenyan man, Abdulkarim Njoroge, has been arrested in connection with the death
of his lover, Irene Kananu.
Njoroge, a
25-year-old university student was accused of killing Kanau and hiding her
corpse in a freezer in his house.
Njoroge
strangled Kananu in his house in Mtwapa region in Mombasa, following an
argument when she wanted to dump him for getting another lady pregnant, Star
reported.
The police
arrested the suspected murderer on Tuesday, two weeks after the family of the
deceased, an HR officer with chemical giant Henkel in Industrial Area, declared
her missing on March 31.
The victim’s
body was found naked, her head inside the refrigerator while her legs and hips
were sticking out.
The couple
reportedly fought after Kananu learned that Njoroge had impregnated his secret
lover who is his neighbour living in the same block of flats with him.
They
frequently argued over claims of infidelity on his part and Kananu had
threatened to leave him several times.
The victim’s
sister, Catherine Nduta, had reported her missing on April 3 at Githurai Kimbo
police station, after trying to get her on phone several times to no avail.
Police
opened investigations and two days later, investigators broke into Kananu’s
house where they found Kananu dead.
Apart from
murdering the lady, Njoroge was also said to have stolen her car and allegedly
withdrew Sh40,000 from Kananu’s M-Pesa account.
