Wednesday, September 10, 2025 - A 39-year-old Kenyan woman from Kericho County has died in a brutal stabbing in the United Kingdom.

Linner Sang, 39, was attacked inside her apartment in Reading on Sunday, September 7^th.

Thames Valley Police confirmed she was pronounced dead at the scene following multiple stab wounds.

Sang had relocated to the UK in late 2023, leaving behind her teaching job at St Catherine in Kesses, Uasin Gishu County, to work as a social care worker.

According to Kenyan Diaspora Media, her 29-year-old partner - who had joined her in the UK as a dependent - is the prime suspect.

Sources say the couple had a strained relationship, which escalated in the days leading up to the fatal incident.

On September 3^rd, Sang reportedly left the apartment after a heated argument.

She returned days later with a friend to collect her belongings, but another confrontation ensued, ending in her tragic death.

Neighbours reported hearing screams before discovering Sang motionless in her home.

The suspect fled through a window but was later arrested near a river, allegedly attempting to take his own life.

Detective Chief Inspector Stuart May of the Major Crime Unit confirmed the arrest and assured the public there was no wider threat.

“We are in the early stages of this murder investigation, but we have made an arrest and are not currently looking for anyone else,” he said.

The tragedy has sent shockwaves through both the diaspora and her community back home.
