A clinical officer from Naivasha Sub-County Hospital who had been missing since Friday last week was on Thursday found murdered and buried in a shallow grave within her compound in Raini Village, Naivasha.

The body of Jane Wambui Njoroge, a pediatric clinical officer, was discovered by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) following the arrest of a house-help who allegedly led them to the burial site during interrogation.

Naivasha OCPD Antony Keter confirmed the arrest, identifying the suspect as a former tenant-turned-house-help who had previously been supported by the family.

Keter said the house help is being treated as the main suspect, with investigations ongoing to determine if others were involved in the heinous act that has left neighbours speechless.
