  "account": "On October 14, a 38-year-old man named Alex Ngugi Njeri surrendered to the Kahawa West Police Station in Nairobi, confessing to the murder of his girlfriend. Njeri arrived at the station around 5:40pm and informed the officers that he had killed Nellious Njeri on the morning of Monday, October 12, at Ndunyu ya Chege Market in Muranga County. The stabbing occurred at the market, where the suspect allegedly used a knife to commit the crime. A police report stated that the suspect provided a confession during interrogation, leading to his arrest. The murder was initially reported at the Ndunyu ya Chege Police Post on October 12. As of now, the suspect remains in custody at Kahawa West Police Station while authorities await further investigation and the collection of the case for the criminal justice system. Upon discovering Njeri's body, police found her lying face down on a bed with multiple stab wounds on her back and the left side of her body below the armpit. The murder scene was reported by concerned members of the public after they noticed the tenant in a locked rental house was unresponsive to calls. Unable to reach the occupant through a window, the public alerted authorities, who broke into the house and found Njeri's body. The body was transferred to Kirwara Level Four Hospital mortuary for preservation pending a post-mortem examination. Police are currently investigating the incident as murder, as recent statistics show a rise in such cases.",
