Three more suspects have been arrested over the murder of a woman in Kehancha, Migori County, in a case initially reported as suicide.
This brings the number of suspects in custody to six so far. Police revised the earlier report after postmortem findings indicated the death was a homicide.
Authorities said a postmortem conducted on the body of Davine Kwamboka revealed she died from a head injury caused by blunt force trauma. The case had initially been reported as a suicide and gender-based violence incident.
However, the new medical findings confirmed the death resulted from homicide, prompting police to amend the records accordingly. Investigators have since taken three additional suspects into custody.
The suspects are being held under a miscellaneous application and are expected to be arraigned at Kehancha Law Courts on April 1, 2026.
Authorities said investigations into the circumstances surrounding the killing are ongoing.
Elsewhere, police in Machakos County are investigating the sudden death of a 40-year-old man in Athi River East Sub-County.
According to police, the incident was reported by the wife of the deceased, Anthony Muchiri Wanyoike.
The report indicates that on March 19, 2026, at around 7:00 p.m., the deceased had gone to the rooftop of his apartment to exercise.
While downstairs, his wife heard a loud noise from the rooftop. At around 7:30 p.m., she responded and found him lying unresponsive in a pool of blood, with a broken pillar resting on his lower abdomen. She screamed for help, prompting neighbours to rush to the scene.
Police officers who responded noted that the deceased was found some distance from the point of impact and wrapped in beige and chocolate-coloured bed covers. Visible injuries included trauma to the head, with blood oozing from the mouth, nose and ears.
The body was moved to KU Funeral Home, where it is awaiting postmortem examination.
