Monday, June 23, 2025 - 17-year-old Lizz Njeri Mwangi has been apprehended as the prime suspect in the horrific murder of 3-year-old Margaret Wanjiru Kirathe that unfolded in Menengai, Nakuru County.
This is after officers received a disturbing report about a
young child found unconscious approximately 50 meters from PCEA Shalom
Mchanganyiko Church.
Unfortunately, despite swift action, the child was pronounced
dead upon arrival at Kenlands Hospital.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect
reportedly lured little Margaret away from the church, leading her to a
secluded place, where she strangled her using a piece of cloth.
The motive, however, is yet to be established.
Acting on intelligence, officers launched an operation that
led to Lizz Njeri Mwangi's arrest at her residence in Judea Village, Menengai
Sub-Location, within Kiamaina Ward.
Upon arrest, officers recovered the clothes the suspect wore
during the commission of the offence as captured on CCTV, as well as the piece
of cloth used to commit the heinous act.
Lizz is currently in custody where she is undergoing
processing pending arraignment.
