Stabbed University student
A Moi University Medicine student going by the same name as Peninah was hacked to death at the Moi University Teaching and Referral Hospital on Wednesday.
The sixth year student, Ivy Wangechi, was injured with an axe by one Naftali Njahi Kinuthia who had traveled from Thika to Eldoret to see her.
Mr Kinuthia claimed that he was infuriated by 24-year-old Ms Wangechi who refused to pick his phone calls despite him having sent her money for her birthday.
The incident has sparked debates as one journalist was suspended and a radio presenter bashed for their views on the subject.
