Police have detained an individual in Nairobi's Mukuru kwa Njenga slum on suspicion of being connected to the killing of a woman whose body was discovered in her home in Ruiru, Kiambu County, last month.

On February 8, Christine Makena Maingi was discovered dead at her home after calls to her phone went unanswered.

Investigations revealed that she might have been murdered by an unidentified person, even though the police had initially classified the case as a suicide.

Subsequent investigation found that on the nights of February 5 and 6, Maingi was with an unidentified individual.
