Police are investigating the discovery of a decomposed body of a woman in a house in Pipeline, Nairobi.
According to police, residents in the estate reported a strong odor coming from the house and sought to identify its source.
When they found the house locked, they requested police assistance.
Police officers gained access to the property and found the body of an unidentified woman on the floor next to a bed. A manila string was reportedly tied around her neck.
The owner of the house, a man known to authorities, was not at the scene.
Police said he was last seen transporting a television set and a woofer, which he reportedly intended to take to his rural home on December 30.
Authorities believe the body may have been at the location for up to two days before it was discovered on January 2.
It has since been taken to the mortuary pending an autopsy. Police are seeking a person of interest in connection with the case, while the motive remains unknown.
In a separate incident in Githunguri, Kiambu County, a man who allegedly killed a child died in hospital from self-inflicted injuries.
The incident reportedly occurred on January 2, and authorities believe the event followed a domestic dispute.
The bodies involved in these cases have been taken to the mortuary pending autopsies and further investigations.
Elsewhere, in Nguka, Kirinyaga County, police found a man dead, tied to a tree in Mukuyu village. Officers said the body showed injuries and bloodstains on the clothing.
The cause of death and motive are under investigation, and the body has been moved to the mortuary.
In Ndiere, Siaya County, 50-year-old Amos Oduor Oloo was reportedly stabbed to death during a dispute over land.
Police said the incident involved a family member, and the victim was found lying about 50 meters from his home with chest wounds.
The assailant is at large, and police continue efforts to trace them.
All cases remain under investigation, and authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward.
