Police in Kisii County have launched a manhunt for a suspect who allegedly stabbed a 25-year-old woman to death inside a bar at Nyakoe Market in Kitutu Central Sub-County.
The victim, identified as Diana Aguko, was found dead in a pool of blood inside one of the rooms at Kundi’s Lounge Bar on Saturday night, November 14, 2026.
According to police, officers who visited the premises discovered the woman’s body with a stab wound on the right side of her neck.
Preliminary investigations indicate that Aguko worked as a bar attendant at the establishment and had previously been in a romantic relationship with the suspect.
The two reportedly separated, but the suspect allegedly made several visits to the bar in an attempt to persuade her to rekindle their relationship.
The suspect is said to have fled after the incident and had not been arrested by the time police launched the manhunt.
The weapon believed to have been used in the killing, reportedly a kitchen knife, was also yet to be recovered.
Investigators processed and documented the crime scene before transferring the body to the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital (KTRH) mortuary, where it was preserved pending a postmortem examination.
Police investigations are ongoing as officers pursue the suspect to establish the circumstances surrounding the killing.
