  "account": "In Embakasi, Nairobi, police are probing the suspected murder of 26-year-old Damaris Nalo, whose lifeless body was discovered inside her friend's residence on October 29. Nalo had left her home at 7:30am, leaving her friend after she sought accommodation due to a dispute with her husband. Around 11:10am, her friend received a phone call from Cornel, Nalo's ex-husband, who questioned her decision to take in Nalo. Following the call, the friend found Nalo's lifeless body on the floor and notified the authorities.\n\nUpon arrival, police confirmed the death and observed suspected strangulation marks on the deceased's neck and a fresh bruise on her left cheek. The motive behind the alleged killing remains undisclosed. Nalo's remains were transported to the City Mortuary for preservation until a postmortem examination could be conducted. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death continues.\n\nSeparately, a fire claimed one life and injured 10 others in Mukuru kwa Njenga, Nairobi, when it engulfed around 100 iron-sheet houses adjacent to Mukuru Level Four Hospital on October 29. The blaze erupted as three fire engines from Nairobi City County fought to contain the flames.

Rescue teams quickly arrived to extricate 11 individuals, who were taken to Kenyatta National Hospital and Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital for emergency treatment. Alas, one of the rescued individuals succumbed to their injuries.",
