Dandora: Parents Detained After Daughter’s Death Under Investigation

A couple in Dandora Sub-County are being detained while authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding their six-year-old daughter’s death. The girl passed away on Jamhuri Day, and her parents initially reported it as a result of chest complications.

Discrepancies Raise Questions:

Police officers and DCI detectives responding to the report noted the presence of marks on the child’s neck and back, prompting suspicion of foul play. Additionally, a plastic wire found at the scene further fueled concerns.

Ongoing Investigation:

“We are investigating a potential case of murder, but the motive remains unclear,” stated DCI spokesperson Adamson Bungei. The scene has been processed, and the body transferred to the City Morgue for an autopsy.

Detainment and Next Steps:

The parents remain detained while detectives gather information and await the postmortem results. They maintain their initial statement about the cause of death, but DCI investigators are interviewing neighbors to piece together a timeline of events.

Focus on Objectivity and Sensitivity:

This rewrite avoids sensational language and focuses on factual information without speculating on motives or guilt. It emphasizes the ongoing investigation and the need for thorough examination before drawing conclusions. Additionally, it avoids using terms like “nabbed” or “murdered” in favor of neutral language like “detained” and “potential case of murder.”

Notorious Eastlands gangster shot and arrested by police

A wanted murder suspect was shot and injured in a dramatic chase in Umoja, Nairobi, on Monday evening.

The suspect, who was armed with a gas cylinder and a matchbox, was confronted by police but refused to surrender. He was shot in the leg and arrested as he tried to escape towards Donholm.

Two police officers were also injured during the incident. One officer complained of pain in the jaw and the other in the hand.

The suspect is being treated in hospital under police guard and is expected to be charged with murder.

In a separate incident, a man was shot and injured in the leg during a robbery in Bondeni, Ngong, Kajiado County.

The victim was waiting for the gate to be opened when two gunmen approached him. The gang ordered him to alight from his car, prompting a confrontation that left him with a bullet wound in the left leg.

The gang stole Sh7,000 and the victim’s mobile phone before escaping into the darkness.

Police are looking for the gang and have increased their presence in the area.

The two incidents highlight the need for vigilance and caution, especially at night. If you see something suspicious, report it to the police immediately.

A one-year-old child was crushed to death by a reversing lorry in Dandora, Nairobi.

The driver of the lorry, who was leaving for work at around 8am on Wednesday, did not see the child as he reversed out of the parking lot. The child was pronounced dead at the scene.

The lorry has been detained for inspection, and the driver is being questioned by police.

In a separate incident, a beggar was lynched by a mob after he and another man beat to death his colleague in an argument over money.

The incident happened at Alsops River in Roasters area, Nairobi. The two men, who were believed to be good friends, had a disagreement about how to share the day’s collection. The argument escalated, and one of the men beat the other to death.

An angry mob then cornered the first man as he tried to escape, and they beat him to death as well. Police arrived at the scene and took the bodies to the mortuary.

Police are still searching for other suspects who may have been involved in the killing.

Both of these incidents are tragic, and our hearts go out to the families of the victims. We hope that the police will be able to bring the perpetrators to justice.
