A 28-year-old woman from Trans Nzoia was on Friday stabbed to death by a man suspected to be her lover at the Kiminini business center within Trans Nzoia.

Kiminini OCPD John Onditi confirmed the incident, saying angry residents attacked the suspect, beating him to a pulp, but he was rescued by police officers who arrived at the scene.

“The suspect attacked the woman at her work place, and stabbed her repeatedly with a knife. The woman was rushed to a nearby hospital, but she died while undergoing treatment,” said Onditi.

According to police, the man and his victim may have argued earlier – before he followed her to work and fatally stabbed her.

The body of the deceased was taken to St. Michael Kiminini Hospital mortuary.
