What started as a missing person concern in Mwea, Kirinyaga County, ended in a devastating discovery that has left neighbours and family members struggling to process their grief.
Peter Munene, 40, had been reported missing since Sunday, November 8, when locals began to grow uneasy after noticing an unusual smell coming from his rented house in Dindiruku village.
When they investigated further, they found his body hidden beneath his bed. A woman he had allegedly been in a relationship with for just two weeks is suspected of killing him.

The revelation that Munene may have been allegedly killed by someone he had known for such a short time made the loss even more difficult for those close to him to accept.
Resident Josephine Karitu said the community was still in disbelief over both the death and the circumstances surrounding it.
