Monday, August 24, 2026 - Detectives in Kiminini, Trans Nzoia County, have arrested an 18-year-old man suspected of attacking an 84-year-old woman, leaving her fighting for her life.
The
victim, Florence Khosa, 84, was admitted to Cheranganyi Nursing Home after
sustaining serious injuries in the attack.
Despite
the medical team’s determined efforts to save her life, she succumbed to her
injuries while undergoing treatment.
Following
the incident, detectives launched a manhunt for the suspect, identified as
Ezekiel Nyongesa Barasa, who had gone into hiding.
The
painstaking investigations and relentless police operations eventually paid
off, with detectives tracking down and arresting the suspect.
He was
subsequently subjected to an identification parade, where witnesses positively
identified him.
But as
detectives dug deeper, another lead surfaced, linking the suspect to another
killing involving an 86-year-old woman in Tongaren, Bungoma County.
Preliminary
investigations have further established that the suspect may have assaulted the
84-year-old victim before her death.
Detectives
are now leaving no stone unturned as forensic examinations and other critical
lines of investigation are pursued to reconstruct the events and establish the
full circumstances surrounding the offences.
The suspect remains in police custody as detectives piece together evidence ahead of his arraignment.
