“When I Saw The Breaking News About Chicken Inn Kitengela, Nilikuwa Worried Coz One of my Nieces Work There.. Little Did I Know Aty Maze Ni Yeye Amefanyiwa Unyama Hivi😭😭😭😭😭 RiP Getrude Mutiso🙏🙏,” Weezdom wrote on Instagram.
The suspect
Patrick Munyoki Kioko claimed that he stabbed Gertrude after learning that was dating their boss.
The suspect, being held by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), confessed to the police that he killed Gertrude on Friday night April 21, 2023, on suspicion that she was seeing one of their managers at Pizza Inn Kitengela where they both worked.
Patrick told the detectives that Gertrude, who he claims to have been in a relationship with since their days at Kimathi University in Nyeri, dumped him five months ago for being a stammer.
According to his statement to the police, Kioko reported that he felt overwhelmed by emotions after learning that Gertrude had moved on and was dating one of their bosses at the eatery.
“This is a woman l loved so much. I am even the one who deflowered her. After l learnt of her new relationship at our workplace it hurt me more,” he stated.
It has also emerged that Kioko had threatened the deceased several times before he finally stormed the shop on Friday and stabbed her five times as she served customers. He was off duty during the 8:30 pm incident.
The victim is said to have reported the threats to her father who is a senior police officer in Kiambu hours before she met her death.
