A 23-year-old boda boda mechanic was found dead with stab wounds in Zanzibar Estate, Nakuru North, on Monday morning, with police arresting a woman as investigations into the death began.

The body of Alvin Okelo Oyugi was discovered along an estate street after a resident reported seeing a man lying motionless on the road at about 7 am.

Police officers who visited the scene found Oyugi lying on his back in a pool of blood. Police said he had sustained three deep stab wounds on his right thigh.

A mobile phone was recovered from his pocket, while a mountain bike bearing blood stains was found beside the body.

Preliminary investigations indicate that Oyugi had been drinking at a local bar at about 11 pm on Sunday in the company of two unidentified men and a woman.

According to police, Oyugi and the two unidentified men later escorted the woman from the bar to the gate of her residence. Oyugi was subsequently found dead along the estate streets.

The woman was arrested and remained in police custody as investigations continued.

The scene was processed, with the mountain bike and mobile phone taken as exhibits for further analysis.

Oyugi’s body was moved to the County Municipal Mortuary pending a postmortem examination, as detectives worked to identify the two other men who were reportedly with him before his death.
