Kenyan-Born Bahraini Athlete Damaris Muthee Found Dead at Boyfriend's House in Iten

Kenyan-born Bahraini athlete Damaris Muthee Mutua has been found dead in Iten, Elgeyo-Marakwet County.

The decomposing body of the 24-year-old athlete was discovered at a house in Lilies estate within Iten on Tuesday.

Keiyo North Police commander Tom Makori said Damaris, a long-distance runner, was last seen in the company of her Ethiopian boyfriend within the town.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the deceased had visited her boyfriend at his rented house at Lilies estate, located just a kilometer from Iten police station.

“We are waiting for the scene of crime unit to process the scene which is a rented house. Even neighbors did not know about the incident because it was the police acting on information received about the killing," Makori said as quoted by Nation. 

Police believe the boyfriend fled to Ethiopia after committing the offense several days ago. He is said to have phoned a friend in Iten informing him of the incident, and he, in turn, alerted police.

“We have every reason to believe the boyfriend is the one who committed the act because he has since fled the country and there is a body in his house,” Makori added.

It seems that this profession is beset with murders from being pushed down balconies to strangulations. That is the reason I hate running, the only time I would consider running is if police are chasing me.

May she RIP. Kenyan women need to learn from this. Too many of them have died from the hands of foreigners especially Nigerians and rag heads Arabs and now Ethiopians and Somalians due to unnecessary obsession over this worst kind of humans. Kenyan women, please stop dating foreigners and live. Most of these foreigners are in Kenya illegally are the most part are fugitives in Kenya

@ guest1 not often I agree with you,but here, Iam on your side. I have a friend who was a diplomat in Ethiopia and he noticed that they called wafrika of dark complexion "lema" apparently its aderogatory term. You and that to those who believe in honor killing and voila, you get gross human rights violations...

I agree, here in DC they congregate among themselves and consider us "other Africans" unworthy. I can't stand Ethiopians and with their high horse mentality while scamming govt for any freebies from housing, medical, etc. They are welfare people ....

And they trek to Kenya when they point guns at each other...Much like Somalis call us Kaffir,but are free to run to Kenya when their shithole country catches fire from within...

That reminds me when I was watching soccer between Ethiopian national team against one of those West african countries. There was one very dark skinned Ethiopian ,the odd one out.My Kenyan friend wondered if there are such in Ethiopian since he is used to seeing only the chorata type. I told him to google the people of Ethipian and he would find Luos there as well.Infact there may be more "dark skinned " Ethiopians than what the chorata media shows...

@ formerly guest2, since Iam tempted to call Guest 1 "my friend" now, can I suggest that she changes her name to " Formerly guest1",but to also cation readers of a likely confusion as they get used to the change...And also remind them that in no way do I suggest you are cut from the same cloth...

Why would educated enlightened people like Kenyans judge a whole nation of Ethiopians solely on the actions of one fool,should we also judge kenyans on the actions of one Moses Kipchirchir,Most Ethiopians very humble cant say that for most Kenyans most Ethiops very honest cant say that for ANY Kenyan

You are right and reasonable on this one. Why are you always so illogical most of the times. Understandably you have beef with and hate folks in US. But have you heard that our sisters are dying in Arabian countries... Waiting on your take on those. plus the long lines on US embassy in Jamhuri....
