Police say a shop attendant who had been left in charge is missing and is now considered a key person of interest. The shop owners reportedly returned on Sunday to find the premises disturbed, leading to the discovery.
Kanari, believed to have been working as a house help nearby, is said to have visited the shop before the incident. Authorities noted visible stab wounds and recovered two blood-stained knives at the scene, though the motive remains unclear.
The body was taken to a mortuary for post-mortem as investigations continue.
In a separate incident in Kangundo, a 33-year-old woman, Victoria Nditi Musyoka, died after a domestic dispute. She had reportedly visited her children when an altercation broke out. She was rushed to hospital but later succumbed to her injuries.
