Saturday, February 8, 2025 - The wife of the patient who was brutally murdered by an unknown individual at Kenyatta National Hospital has expressed her utter disbelief and sorrow over the horrific incident.
The patient identified as Gilbert Kinyua was found dead in
his hospital bed by a nurse during a routine check on Friday morning.
His throat had been slit, with preliminary investigations
indicating that the murder likely occurred between 3 and 6 am.
Kinyua’s wife, Susan Wanjiku, said she received a call from
the hospital, urging her to come in to identity her husband’s body.
“I was told to go to the hospital to identify the body.
After that, I was informed that his death was not natural and it was murder,
his throat was slit. I do not know who did that beastly act,” Wanjiku revealed,
still in shock over the senseless violence.
She added that she has no idea who would want to harm her
husband and is left with more questions as the investigation continues.
“I do not know who would want to harm my husband,” she
stated, speaking in a mix of grief and confusion.
Wanjiku was told that the investigation into her husband’s
death is ongoing and that further details would be provided once it is
concluded.
“I was told to wait for the investigations to be completed.
We will be told what is next after that,” she explained.
A knife, believed to have been used in the murder, was
recovered by the authorities.
Kenyatta National Hospital issued a statement expressing
condolences to Kinyua’s family.
