Reports indicated that Monchari was believed to have been killed in December 2018.

The deceased was reported missing for nine days when her body was discovered in her house decomposing in the kitchen in January this year.

Kenyenya OCPD Isaac Thuranira affirmed that investigations into the murder had begun as samples collected from the crime scene are still undergoing tests.

Controversy into Monchari’s death emerged after postmortem results showed that she might have been strangled to death, and her killer covering up the act by leaving a suicide note to allege that the lady had committed suicide.
