picked a knife from the kitchen,stabbed

the deceased and killed him.

from Jamhuri Police Station who were on

patrol and rushed to the scene.

the kitchen knife with blood stain on

it.

and the deceased was lying in a pool

of blood in the suspect’s house .

an attempt to commit suicide prompting

the officers to break the door and

accessing entry into it.

He was rushed into a nearby hospital

for medical attention.
