TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED OVER MURDER IN SEPARATE STABBING INCIDENT IN KIBRA
Detectives have arrested two suspects in connection with a murder and a separate stabbing incident reported in Lindi, Kibra, Nairobi County.
The arrests followed an intelligence-led operation in the Kingstone area after two separate attacks left one man dead and another seriously injured on the morning of October 23, 2026.
In the first incident, 49-year-old Jacob Odhiambo Alube was fatally stabbed during a robbery after reportedly attempting to resist the assailants.
The attackers allegedly robbed him of his valuables, including his mobile phone, before stabbing him in the chest and left thigh. He died at the scene.
Police officers who responded found his body lying in a pool of blood. Crime Scene Investigation officers processed the scene before the body was transferred to Nairobi Funeral Home for a post-mortem examination.
In a separate attack reported the same morning, 58-year-old Juma Jared was stabbed several times by two assailants while heading to work.
He sustained injuries to his upper left arm, chest and lower back. Good Samaritans rushed him to Mbagathi Hospital before he was referred to Kenyatta National Hospital for further treatment. He is reported to be in fair and stable condition.
Unlike the first incident, nothing was reportedly stolen from Jared.
Following investigations, detectives conducted an intelligence-led operation in Kingstone, Lindi, leading to the arrest of two suspects identified as Abdizar Suleiman and Stephen Litari Hussein.
The suspects remain in police custody undergoing processing ahead of their arraignment in court.
