Detectives are investigating an incident where the bodies of two women were found in a rental house after a murder incident in Ololunga, Narok County.

One of the victims had been strangled while the second one had stab wounds, and her body lay in a pool of blood, police said.

The bodies were discovered on September 7, 2025, in the morning, long after the women had been killed.

A landlady told police she had gone to check on the tenants when she found one of the victims, who was occupying the room, dead.

She first knocked on the door, but there was no response, prompting her to push it open.

The body of one Rachael Njoki, 26, was found lying on the floor after she had been strangled.

Another body of a woman who was not immediately identified lay on the bed with deep stabs in the chest and stomach. She lay in a pool of blood.

Police were called and recovered a kitchen knife believed to have been used in the murder mission.

A suspect believed to be the boyfriend of Njoki was arrested for interrogation, police said.

Police said they believe he acted alone, but they are investigating the double murder with the motive remaining unknown.

The bodies were moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy and investigations, police said.

Elsewhere in Malaba, Busia County, a body of a man was found near the Malaba-Uganda railway line.

Police said the deceased was found to have sustained deep cut wounds on the body, suspected to have been inflicted by a sharp object.

A suspect linked to the murder was trailed and killed by locals, police said.

This was after he was found wearing blood-stained clothes in the area and was, according to locals, looking suspicious.

The bodies were moved to the mortuary pending autopsies and other investigations.
