A 23-year-old woman has been taken into police custody after allegedly fatally stabbing her brother-in-law in Mbooni East, Makueni County.

Police reported that the suspect turned herself in at Ngiluni Police Station on Saturday evening, shortly after the incident occurred in Ivumbu village, Utuneni Sub-location.

Mbooni East Sub-county Police Commander Ephraim Karani stated that the motive for the attack remains unclear. “She voluntarily surrendered after the incident,” he told reporters on Sunday.
