The grandson of a former Defense Minister, the late Njenga Karume’s grandson has been arrested over the death of his fiancée, The Star Kenya reports.
The man identified as Kenneth Wathugi Karume has been accused of
murdering the fiancee by pushing her off the fourth balcony. Karume, a
trained pilot is the first born son of the late Joe Karume – a first
born son of the late Kiambu tycoon.
The report states that the 30-year-old Mumbi Kalungia is said to
have fallen to his death from the fourth floor of an apartment in Kiambu
on Thursday night during an argument with the boyfriend.
It was gathered that the couple had just arrived at home after a
night out when Mumbi started shouting for help before going silent.
When neigbours were interrogated, they revealed that there was
commotion outside the suspect's house before the death of the lady. The
dead body of the lady was later found outside the compound of the
apartment.
Karume, 30, however claims that Mumbi jumped off the balcony by
herself. He was arrested on the balcony of their house as he tried to
flee, The Star reports, claiming he had done nothing wrong. Police are
also investigating possibilities that Mumbi could have been pushed to
her death following the disagreement with Karume.
Kiambu deputy police boss Johson Lyabila confirmed Karume’s arrest but declined to comment further.
