Man Arrested over Murder of Girlfriend Who Was Set to Fly Abroad for Work
Golden Nyakundi, the prime suspect in the gruesome murder of his girlfriend Joyce Wanjiru Nyambura has been arrested.
Nyakundi, who went into hiding after committing the monstrous act last Wednesday, was apprehended on Tuesday and put under police custody pending arraignment to face murder charges.
He is alleged to have stabbed Wanjiru to death with a sharp knife at her sister’s house in Kahawa West, Nairobi, three days before her scheduled travel to Qatar for work as a house help.
It is alleged that Nyakundi was opposed to his girlfriend leaving the country for greener pastures.
“My sister had really struggled to secure a job here in Kenya in vain until she got the chance to leave for Qatar and we were all happy as a family. However, the turn of events has left the family with so much pain,” Wanjiru’s sister Cecilia Nyambura said.
The 34-year-old mother of three suffered stab wounds in the abdomen, back, and mouth. She also had bruises on her head.
Wanjiru was found lying dead in a pool of blood and her body was moved to Kenyatta University Memorial Funeral Home.

What is the best punishment for someone who intentionally and brutally murders another human being? How would Nyakundi like 3 stabs in his abdomen back and mouth now? You denied someone life, then go into hiding! Why the fuck are you still breathing you fucking stinkin' skunk!
