After the attack, the suspect fled from the pharmacy while the victim managed to stagger outside before collapsing. She later succumbed to her injuries at the scene.

The suspect is currently being held at Kilimani Police Station as detectives continue with investigations ahead of his arraignment in court.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect and the deceased had previously been in a romantic relationship and were working at the same place.

Sources familiar with the matter told investigators that the woman had earlier resigned from her job due to alleged harassment by the suspect before later returning to work.

Police believe the attack may have been linked to ongoing disagreements following the couple’s separation.

Investigators also revealed that the suspect had allegedly carried a knife to work earlier that day, raising suspicion that the attack may have been premeditated.

The body of the deceased was moved to the City Mortuary in Nairobi as investigations continue into the motive behind the killing.
