Detectives in Nakuru are piecing together the final moments of Derrick Malumasa Sabuni, a third-year nursing student at Kabarak University. His body was discovered with stab wounds near Kampi Ya Moto trading centre on the Nakuru-Mogotio road. A team of senior detectives visited the scene to collect forensic evidence and are actively investigating the possibility of an active threat on Sabuni’s life prior to his death.
Three fourth-year students, reported to be the last to have seen Sabuni, have been arrested in connection with the incident. Donnata Otieno, the head of the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) in Rongai, confirmed that the suspects were taken into custody to aid the investigation. According to Otieno, the students claimed to have been attacked by two people, but their account does not align with the findings of the investigation. Although initially released on bail due to their student status, investigations are ongoing and charges are expected to be brought forth.
Investigators suspect that Sabuni may have been stabbed elsewhere and his body dumped at the scene, as there were no bloodstains or signs of a struggle. Furthermore, Sabuni’s belongings were missing from the scene, deepening the mystery surrounding his death. The motive behind the murder remains unknown, prompting investigators to explore various leads, including revisiting the bar where Sabuni was last seen.
The tragic event has shocked fellow students, with one appealing for increased security in the area. This sentiment was echoed by others who also urged caution among students. As the investigation continues, authorities are diligently working to unravel the circumstances surrounding Sabuni’s untimely death.
