WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Police in Nairobi, Kenya, have arrested 29-year-old John Kiama Wambua after finding the mutilated body of his wife, Joy Fridah Munani, in his backpack during a routine patrol in the Huruma area. Following the shocking discovery, officers were led to Wambua’s home, where they uncovered more body parts, a knife, and blood-stained clothing hidden under a bed. Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has condemned the act as “heinous,” confirming that Wambua will face murder charges in court. The incident draws further attention to the rising femicide cases in Kenya, with at least 97 women reportedly killed between August and October last year. High-profile cases of gender-based violence have included the murder of Olympic runner Rebecca Cheptegei in 2024 and the arrest of alleged serial killer Collins Jumaisi Khalusha, who escaped custody last year. This case also comes weeks after a Nigerian singer was found carrying the severed head of his girlfriend, raising regional concerns over rising gender-based violence.
