A youthful woman from Kamae in Kahawa West, Nairobi County was on Wednesday, March 24, arrested after she stabbed three men in horrifying circumstances.
One of the men died, whereas the other two were critically injured.
It remains to be ascertained whether the deceased was the suspect’s boyfriend or one of two men, who had come to break up a fight between the fighting couple.
While in a thicket, a fight ensued between the suspect, who was armed with a kitchen knife, and her lover.
Two men, who were passing by, went to break up the fight. The woman, however, turned on them and stabbed the intervening duo, leaving them unconscious.
The men, who were reportedly drunk, sustained stab wounds to the neck, chest and different parts of their bodies. After subduing the pair, the suspect stabbed her boyfriend too.
Other passersby found the woman sucking the trio’s blood from open stab wounds, police said.
The mob started stoning the woman at the scene, but before they could lynch her, police arrived and rescued the suspect.
One of the attacked trio died at the scene. Police are yet to ascertain whether it is the woman’s boyfriend, or one of the intervening pair, who succumbed to his stab injuries.
Kamae area chairperson, James Kiiru Ng’ang’a, termed the woman’s actions as “shocking and strange”.
“She had very long nails, which she used to tear into the already open wounds to trigger more bleeding. She, thereafter, sucked the blood from each of the three men, who were lying unconscious on the ground,” said Ng’ang’a.
Catherine Nkatha, a Kamae resident who witnessed the gory incident, said the attack survivors were rushed to hospital by police.
K24 Digital has established that the two men were taken to Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral & Research Hospital, whereas the victim, who died following the attack, was taken to Chiromo morgue.
The suspect, on the other hand, was taken to Kasarani Police Station, pending further investigations>chaosafrica
