The 28-year-old was claimed to have waited for the lady to exit the faculty campus as she headed to the Moi Referral Hospital to sit for a practical exam.
The suspect hiding the crude weapons in a sack, had ambushed the student and hacked her in the head before trying to escape but was stopped by students and boda boda operators who had witnessed the ordeal.
The crowd beat up Kinuthia who was later rushed to the same hospital in critical condition.
