Two women were killed in Nairobi in separate incidents on Sunday. The first reported death was at the posh Lavington neighbourhood, where the body of a woman in her early 20s was found dumped on a footpath at the Ole Lerogi Gardens.

Reacting to the incident, neighbours said they had been witnessing some ‘weird’ happenings inside a house adjacent to the scene, and that their complaints to the police had yielded no response.

“Sometimes we hear people making merry overnight in the house, while other times we hear people crying out hysterically. On yet other occasions, there is a lot of quarrelling and insults within that house,” a neighbour said, adding that a string of luxury vehicles regularly snakes into the compound from midnight and leaves just before dawn.

However, Kilimani police boss Francisio Nyamantari termed the incident a normal act of savagery, and said the woman appeared to have been murdered elsewhere.
