Kenyan Police Probe Murder of Naivasha Man and Stabbing Death in Nakuru

Police in Kenya are investigating two separate homicide cases. In Naivasha, the body of 58‑year‑old Joseph Mwangi Njuguna was discovered inside a pumice‑harvesting cave in Ereri Village three days after he was reported missing. Investigators say he suffered deep vertical cuts to the throat, likely inflicted with a sharp object, and the scene has been processed by Crime Scene Investigation officers before the body was taken to the Naivasha Sub‑County Hospital mortuary for a post‑mortem.

In Nakuru County, 32‑year‑old James Mbugua Karoka was found stabbed to death following a domestic dispute with his second wife in the Maji Mingi Estate near Mau Narok. Police recovered a blood‑stained kitchen knife from the house, arrested the woman involved, and moved the victim’s body to the Egerton University Mortuary for examination. Both investigations remain ongoing, with detectives seeking suspects and motives.

These incidents highlight heightened police activity around violent crimes in Kenya’s Central and Rift Valley regions.
