Kondele’s acting Officer in Charge of the Police Station (OCS), Daniel Ongachi, arrived at the crime scene and appealed for information from the local community to aid in identifying and locating the culprits.
“This type of killing is unacceptable. It is an act carried out by individuals from within our community; some of them resort to using narcotics to commit such heinous crimes,” he stated.
Ongachi expressed his determination to collaborate with the locals to eliminate criminal elements within the Kondele ward and urged residents to assist in the effort.
“I seek your support to ensure that such individuals who carried out this crime do not live among us,” he said.
According to locals, the deceased was a familiar presence in the area and would typically spend the night on shop verandas. Ongachi suspects that her assailants encountered her while returning from their criminal activities.
