Woman found murdered at home in Juja after robbery

On October 16, 2026, a 33-year-old woman named Susan Njoki Nyaga was discovered murdered at her home in Juja, Kiambu County. Her husband, returning from work, found her lifeless body behind their bungalow in Muthara area, Nyacaba Sub-Location, Komo Location. Police found the victim's neck twisted and her face covered with a hoodie.

It was also noted that pieces of cloth had been stuffed into her mouth and a white shoelace tightly tied around her neck. The husband informed authorities that he had left for his job at a slaughterhouse in BAT Makongeni around 7:30am, and had attempted to reach his wife by phone throughout the day without success. Preliminary investigations suggest that the attackers may have entered the compound by scaling the perimeter wall while the woman was doing laundry.

They stole items worth approximately Sh64,000, including a television, two mobile phones, and a gas cylinder. However, other valuable items were left untouched. The motive behind the killing remains unclear, and police are continuing their investigation.
