Residents of Ndindiruku Village in Mwea, Kirinyaga County, are reeling from shock after the body of a 40-year-old man was found hidden under his bed, allegedly concealed there by his lover.

Peter Munene had been missing since Sunday evening. It was not until Wednesday morning that his remains were recovered from his one-roomed rented house, wrapped in a nylon sack and pushed beneath the bed.

Munene's landlord, Joseph Kabacu, who also counted himself among the deceased's closest friends, told police that the two had spent Sunday evening together at a local bar in the village. That was the last time Munene was seen alive.

After two days passed without any sign of him, and as a powerful foul smell began to seep from his locked house, neighbours grew alarmed and alerted village leadership. Location Chief Henry Kariuki responded by contacting officers from Wanguru Police Station.

Upon arriving at the scene, police were forced to break the padlock on the door to gain entry.
