Police have arrested a murder suspect who stabbed his friend on the neck killing him on the spot, after a short argument about the fare.
After a brief disagreement, a murder suspect stabbed his companion in the neck, killing him on the scene. Daniel Waithera, 25, murdered his buddy Michael Mukami, 21, following an altercation over who would pay for the fare during a motorcycle trip.
Stephen Mwango, the motorbike rider, said he picked up the two at 5:30 a.m. at Gikambura market in Kikuyu, Kiambu county. However, upon arrival at their destination in Muthangari, the two pillion passengers started arguing on who was to pay the fare for the ride. The suspect then dashed to his house and came back wielding a sharp knife.
He stabbed the victim on the left side of the neck and fled, leaving him for dead in the blink of an eye. The horrified motorbike rider quickly contacted Kikuyu police officers, who promptly started a manhunt for the culprit.
The culprit was eventually cornered and captured with the help of members of the public. The murder weapon, which was an important exhibit in the crime, was also found.

Death used to stay in Far away Land. It took longer for it to take one as it had to Walk in a Snail’s pace.
Thus by the time it arrived, the one it came for was already old & tired to live!…

Never act when you are too angry or too happy. In both cases, you are bound to do something that you will regret later. Now this young man is going to waste away in prison. And even if he is released for some reason, he will never know peace. Mat the v…over 75% of prisoners lacked father figures or are from single mothers, end of the comment, do not argue with statistics

At 5 am the boys were obviously from a drinking and partying spree. I fully understand the “mbogi” mentality. These “mbogi” crew can agree and diaagree on who to buy a 50bob ‘chaser’ after changaing a mzinga from proceeds of betting or playing pool.

I have seen/heard about people from ‘proper family unit as defined by society’ commit crimes. Some come from rich families, other poor.When you are quick to shame a particular family unit, what exactly are you saying?…The other day we had a girl who was raped we tagged you Directorate of Criminal Investigations – DCI in the Africa’s Leading Ladies in Embu. I been waiting to see an update in this regard and there’s been no update of justice to a young girl

They were picked at 5:30am,, but apparently they weren’t going to work,, it seems they came home (he went into his house to bring a knife)… So where were the two coming from.. Maybe we can begin there.The time taken to run to his house and come with the weapon is of paramount importance and what was the Rider doing at that very moment with the victim, detaining him? Just a concern.
