Police in Kisii are holding two suspects in connection with the stabbing to death of a reveller on Easter Sunday night

A woman who was reported to be with the deceased moments before he was lured out and killed by the male suspect, is among those arrested.

Nyanchwa OCPD Anthony Keter described the suspect as a 36-year-old male stalker.

The deceased, 53, was allegedly partying with the said woman when he was assaulted.

Police said they received a call Sunday night about the incident where a man acting alone had lured his prey out of the joint into the shadows before he severally stabbed him in the chest.

"The 36-year-old appeared like one who had been stalking the two lovers for hours. He waited for them to return to the bar where they had requested drinks before he requested to have a conversation with him when he stabbed him leaving him for dead," Keter said.

The reveller was rushed to a hospital in Mosocho for emergency treatment before a referral to Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

"The two suspects will be arraigned Tuesday for murder," he told the Star on phone. 

"We are still carrying out more investigations into the incident."
