Two people are in custody as police in Tigania Central mount investigations on the brutal murder of an 18-year-old girl who vanished after visiting her boyfriend.

Tigania Central sub-county Police Commander Joel Chepkwony confirmed they had arrested Allan Kirimi, Beatrice Gatwiri’s boyfriend who she allegedly visited after finishing her form four exams, and another unnamed suspect who saw the body in the forest.
The two are assisting police with information to unravel the killers who beheaded Gatwiri.

Gatwiri had left her grandmother’s home on December 24, 2022, to her alleged boyfriend who she eloped but unfortunately her headless body was discovered in the thickets of Rwerea hills in Tigania Central, Meru County on January 13 this year.

Family members are puzzled by the hyena’s act meted on the young girl as her grandmother insists it is against the Ameru taboo and subsequent curse to bury a body without the head.

According to a police report, she left her boyfriend’s home after a few days, only for her decapitated, half-naked body to be discovered in the forest.

Chepkwony noted that members of the public have reluctant in providing crucial leads to help them crack down on the murderers.

The deceased’s grandmother who was wailing about the loss claims that it is better the body is buried elsewhere because the trauma might also lead her to an early death.
