"According to reports filed at Pangani Police Station, Nabalayo was in the house with a colleague housemaid when she intentionally opened the door, admitting an unknown assailant armed with a hammer.
"In a shocking turn of events, the duo reportedly assaulted the other maid, leaving her for dead in the bathroom. They then made off with a haul that included a gold set valued at Ksh 210,000, a Lenovo XY laptop worth Ksh 110,000, and an Infinix phone priced at Ksh 15,000," DCI said.
Following an intensive manhunt, DCI detectives tracked Nabalayo to Kariokor, where she was intercepted aboard a bus headed for Uganda.
