Kikuyu lady who is the owner of TRM Drive AIRBNB among suspects detained for 10 days over the murder of RITA WAENI

Thursday, January 18, 2024 - The Owner of the TRM Drive Airbnb where a young woman was killed and her head decapitated is among five people who have been arraigned before Makadara Magistrate Court to answer murder charges.

Priscila Maina, who is the owner of the Airbnb, was arraigned together with Kelvin Mutiso, Eugene Omondi, and Brian Kinoti, all of whom were allegedly near the house on the night Rita Waeni was murdered by her Nigerian hooker.

According to the application made by the police, Priscilla is accused of failing to register her tenant details as required by the law, which would have helped the police in tracing the suspected killer.

Makadara Law Courts Senior Principal Magistrate Justus Kituku allowed the police to continue holding the suspects for 10 more days to complete their investigations.

While granting the orders, Kituku said the case is of great public interest in light of recent mysterious murders at Airbnb.

 "There is no doubt that the nation's psyche has been gripped by the increased cases of victims being lured and killed in rental apartments. 

"The most recent unfortunate incident is now what is before the court," the magistrate said.
