A family in Saika, Nairobi, is in mourning following the gruesome murder of their son, Conrad Nyabuto, at the hands of his estranged girlfriend last month.

To add insult to injury, they are now experiencing a delay in the delivery of justice despite there being sufficient evidence connecting their son's murder to his girlfriend.

Nyabuto bled to death after being stabbed 27 times when he visited his girlfriend in Kamakis on the night of December 17 to discuss their failing relationship. "27 stab wounds is not self-defence.

That is like you are killing a very dangerous wild animal, so we have been trying to cope, but it is not easy, as I have said," the distraught father stated.
