Police in Mwingi are on high alert as they intensify efforts to apprehend a man believed to be responsible for a vicious stabbing incident in the Ikuuni area. The suspect is also allegedly linked to a previous crime involving the severing of a finger, discovered in the nearby town of Mavoko.
The latest incident occurred when the assailant reportedly stabbed a mechanic in Ikuuni, prompting a swift response from law enforcement. The victim’s condition is currently unknown, but residents are expressing deep concern about the increasing violence attributed to the same individual.
According to eyewitnesses, this is not the first time the suspect has left a trail of violence in his wake. In a disturbing earlier incident, the same person was allegedly involved in cutting off a person’s finger, which was later found in Mavoko. Shockingly, after committing these crimes, the suspect has managed to evade capture, reportedly finding refuge with sex workers in the Mavoko area.
Locals are growing increasingly anxious, urging the police to intervene promptly and bring the suspect to justice. Concerns are rising about the potential danger posed by an individual capable of such brutal acts and who appears to have a network of associates providing shelter.
“The fear is real; this is the same person who cut off a finger found in Mavoko. Now, he has stabbed another person, and he is being hidden by those women in Mavoko. We request the police to intervene before more harm is done,” said a concerned resident.
Law enforcement authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or information that may lead to the apprehension of the suspect. The Mwingi subcounty police have assured the community that every effort is being made to locate and apprehend the individual responsible for these heinous crimes.
As the manhunt intensifies, the community remains on edge, hopeful that swift action by the police will bring an end to the reign of terror inflicted by the elusive suspect.
