An 18-year-old Form Four student has been found brutally murdered inside her home in Kiambaa area, Molo, in an incident police are treating as murder.

According to a police report that PM Kimemia has seen, Joy Wangui was found dead on October 4, 2026, after her brother, Ken Macharia, returned home from a nearby shop and discovered her body in the kitchen.

Police and DCI officers who visited the scene found Wangui lying in a pool of blood, with her head reportedly severed from her body. An axe, panga and two knives, all allegedly stained with blood, were recovered at the scene.

Her head was later found in the corridor. Police reported that a message had allegedly been written on a wall using blood, reading: “I love you Joy but never cheat, I’m sorry.”

Preliminary investigations identified the deceased's boyfriend, named by police as Walter Kipkoech, as the main suspect. He reportedly fled the scene immediately after the incident and remained at large as of the time of the report.

Wangui was a Form Four student at Molo Secondary School, 220.

Her body was moved to Molo Sub-County Hospital mortuary pending a postmortem examination.

No relationship dispute, jealousy or heartbreak justifies taking another person's life. Pole sana to the family.
