A homicide occurs when one individual intentionally kills another on purpose or accidentally. The rise in homicide cases in the last couple of months is worrying. In January, a woman’s body was discovered in a dustbin in Roysambu, Nairobi. Also in January, a woman was brutally murdered in a South B short rental apartment.
In Siaya, a man murdered his wife due to alleged infidelity. In Tharaka-Nithi, a blogger from Meru was found dead. In Machakos, a female student at Machakos University was killed inside her boyfriend’s house.
