Police have arrested a man who stabbed his pregnant girlfriend to death in Mutituni, Machakos County on Saturday.
The 27 year old  woman, who works at one of the hotels at Mutituni Market was leaving her house to work at around 7am when she was attacked by her boyfriend identified as Mutiso alias Kamondo.
Confirming the incidence, Machakos County Police Commander, Karanja Muiruri said that they have arrested the man who fled after committing the horrendous act.
He said that they discovered a kitchen knife with blood stains and however they did not know what transpired.
“This thing of having small arguments with your wife then killing them does not make sense and should stop, we do not know where he ran to, but one thing we’re sure of, is that we’ll catch him,” said Mr Karanja.
Ruth Mutala a neighbor said that they  heard noise coming from the couple’s house on Saturday morning.
She said on going out to see what was happening, she found the woman’s body lying on the ground in the compound and the boyfriend  had fled.
Ms Mutala said the man should be charged for having killed two people at the same time  condemned the act.
They want the family of the suspect should perform a ritual ‘to appease the gods who will keep on yearning for more blood if something will not be done’.
She said Kamba traditions require a goat be slaughtered to make sure a similar incident is not repeated since it’s a taboo to kill a pregnant woman.
Jonah Munyao, the area MCA, visited the scene and condemned the act and urged the police to make sure justice is served.
Police moved the body to Machakos Level 5 Hospital mortuary.
This happens just days after a woman was arrested in Umoja for killing her boyfriend. She stabbed the man 11times.
