Sleuths Make New Discovery in NLC Director Jennifer Wambua's Murder

Detectives probing the murder of National Lands Commission (NLC) deputy director Jennifer Wambua have established that she was not abducted as earlier thought.

Investigations have revealed that the deceased left her car at NLC headquarters in Nairobi on the day she was reported missing and proceeded to Ngong’ Forest for prayer in isolation.

Sleuths made the conclusion after examining her mobile phone records and found a conversation between her and a Machakos-based cleric, who advised her to take some time alone in the forest and intercede over her depression.

While leaving the forest after the prayer session, she met the prime suspect in the murder, Peter Njenga, who allegedly offered to get her some drinking water before raping and strangling her to death.

Two other suspects Benjamin Saitoti and David Sempuan, who allegedly saw her alive on the evening of March 12th when she was reported missing are in police custody.

Wambua, who served as the Deputy Director of Communications at NLC, was found murdered and her body dumped in Ngong’ Forest on March 13th.

The former journalist had disappeared a day earlier, hours after her husband Joseph Komu dropped her at her office based at ACK Annex adjacent to Ardhi House.
