Pauline Wangari Ngoi, 24, a prison warder at Murang'a GK Prison, was found de*d in her house in Kiharu Estate after missing work for two days. Colleagues forced open her door and discovered her decomposing body, with investigators concluding that she had been strangl*d and st*bbed.
Police arrested Joseph Otieno Ochieng, 23, a Nairobi-based mechanic who had met Pauline through Facebook. CCTV footage placed him at the scene, and investigators say he later staged the murder to look like a su***de before stealing several items. He was arrested in Kericho County, confessed to the crime, and was charged with m*rder. Bail was denied.
