The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has appealed for information from Kenyans to aid in the arrest of a suspect wanted for attempted murder at Mihang'o Estate in Njiru, Kayole Sub-County, on April 22, 2023.
In a statement on Thursday, June 13, DCI disclosed that the suspect, Mary Mwende Kimwalu, allegedly stabbed her ex-boyfriend three times on the chest using a kitchen knife after a disagreement.
"In the case, Mary Mwende reportedly stabbed her ex-boyfriend three times on the chest using a kitchen knife, after a tiff that sundered their once dazzling love. After the heinous attack, she went underground, carefully effacing the track behind her," DCI remarked.
The directorate further intimated that the 35-year-old suspect went into hiding and cut communication with her family and close friends.
"Mwende did not only hole up, but also cut communication with her family, known friends and has since avoided places she previously frequented hence paralyzing efforts to bring her to justice," DCI added.
