NAIROBI, Kenya Dec 31 – A student at Kenyatta University who went missing has been found dead at her boyfriend’s house in Kahawa Wendani, Kiambu County.
Victoria Muthoni Theuri, a Public Policy and Administration student, was last seen on December 25, 2022.
The deceased, according to preliminary investigations had told her parents who live in the neighboring Kahawa Sukari, Kiambu County that she had gone to visit her sister.
Muthoni however, failed to return home and she was unreachable on phone sending the parents into a panic mode.
It was soon after that the parents realized that their daughter never visited her sister as she had claimed.
They later filed a missing person report at Kahawa Sukari Police Station.
Muthoni is reported to have been at loggerheads with her parents despite still living with them.
She is reported to have gotten pregnant while in school a situation that deepened the rift with her parents.
Police have since established that Muthoni usually spent time at her boyfriend’s apartment at Alvo House in Kahawa Wendani before going home after school.
And while her family was looking for her, the residents of Alvo House started smelling some foul smell from one of the apartments, which was locked.
“The man who lives there was not around and we found it odd that there was a bad smell coming out of the house,” said a neighbor.
Police visited the house on December 29, 2022, and broke the door with the help of welders, and Muthoni’s body was found in the sitting room. Her body had no visible injuries.
Police suspect, she died at least three days earlier.
Muthoni’s boyfriend, who had gone to his rural home, was immediately traced and arrested.
He was taken to the Ruiru sub-county Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters for questioning.
The boyfriend told the police that he left Muthoni’s at his house on Christmas Day and traveled to his parent’s home.
Police are now seeking to establish how the university student met her death.
