A detective in the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has surrendered to police in Naivasha following reports linking him to the murder of his wife.
This follows investigations in Nairobi after a 43-year-old woman was found dead inside her house at an apartment in Roysambu, Nairobi.
According to reports, on February 28, 2026, the deceased held a video call with her daughter at around 3.41pm, after which she stopped responding to calls.
This prompted her daughter who was filled with curiosity to resort to checking on her, only to visit the house and find her mother lying lifeless.
The incident was reported to Kasarani Police Station who rushed to the scene and found the body lying on its back in the living room.
