How suspected killer of KU graduate broke news of his heinous act


Just hours after the killing of Endinal Nyainda, a recent Kenyatta University graduate, the suspected murderer made a chilling phone call to her sister asking her to go and collect the victim’s body.

This is according to the victim’s sister Diolence Nyainda.

Endinal was murdered on Monday by lover inside their rented apartment at Kahawa Wendani, after what has been reported as a disagreement.

The man, who has been identified as Maxwell Otieno, is alleged to have stubbed the victim several times in the stomach after the two had a disagreement after she threatened to leave the man.

“My sister left the house and did not say where she was going and at around 2.48am, her ex-boyfriend called me and when I picked the phone he told me to go and pick the body of my sister, whom she said she had already killed,” said Diolence Nyainda.

Miss Nyainda added that when she reached where the man lived he told her that he killed her sister because she had left him.

ARRESTED

The family also denied claims by the suspected murderer that he took her through her university education.

“HELB is what was paying for my daughter’s school fee and that man (Otieno) never paid anything for her,” Endinal’s mother, Nemmy Nyainda, said.

An uncle to the victim also said that the suspect was never in the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) and that he was a taxi driver in Kahawa Wendani area.

The suspect has since been arrested and is being held at Ruiru Police Station as investigations continue.

The deceased’s body will be moved from Kenyatta University Mortuary to the family’s rural home in Migori on Thursday for final funeral arrangements.
