Police said the assailant is missing after the murder incident on Sunday, December 1 in the Huruma area.
The deceased was identified as Benedict Kiptoo, 24 who was a clinical medicine student at the college.
He was stabbed once in the chest at his residence in the area after a fight with his lover, his neighbours told police.
His neighbours said they heard commotion from the house he stayed with the suspected assailant and on checking they found him lying in a pool of blood and wreathing in pain.
He had a deep stab wound in the chest.
The assailant who is known to him had escaped the scene, police said.
