The body of a 40-year-old woman has been found in a bathroom in Kagio town, Kirinyaga County.

According to the tenants led by Peter Wamugunda, the woman's naked body was discovered by one of the tenants who had gone to the bathroom.

According to the family members, the woman, a mother of two, had stayed at the rented house for only a week after her husband from Nairobi rented the house.

“I am the one who advised them to rent a house at Kagio after the high cost of living in Nairobi. She is a mother of two and has stayed here for just a week and her husband is coming right now from Nairobi,” Wangari said.

Shocked tenants said the woman had spent Sunday sweeping the plot.
