A quiet morning in Bunju A, Dar es Salaam, turned tragic after a woman was found dead inside her home following a reported shooting involving her husband. Jennifer Kweka was discovered with a gunshot wound to the head at the couple's residence on Mkoani Street in Senzere on Thursday, October 1, 2026.

According to Shirima, Jennifer was found lying beside the bed when authorities entered the h...

The former Nairobi governor made the allegations under oath in his defence in a KSh20 million graft trial. Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta is not shown to have responded in the coverage reviewed. Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has told the Anti-Corruption Court that retired High Court Judge Said Juma Chitembwe confided in him that former President Uhuru Kenyatta had directed him not to grant orders that could have stopped Sonko's impeachment. The claims were made while he testified in his own defence before Magistrate Isabellah Barasa in the KSh20 million graft case. They are allegations made under oath and have not been established as facts. Sonko told the court that Chitembwe showed him communication that he said contained the former president's instructions. He also alleged that the judge had prepared a draft ruling finding the impeachment improper for lack of quorum, that he was not allowed to keep a copy, and that the draft was later destroyed on Kenyatta's allege...

New details have surfaced about how an Officer Commanding Station allegedly deceived the parents of a 16-year-old girl before allegedly assaulting her at their Kakamega home. The OCS, based in Lumakanda, is under investigation over accusations of sexually assaulting the Grade Eight student in the Kambi Moto area of Lugari Constituency.

A Sh700 debt has ended in a double tragedy in Migori County after a woman who left home to collect the money was found dead, and the man she had gone to see was later killed by an angry mob, before police could establish whether he had any role in her death. Kennedy Onyango Juma left his home in Kamunga Village on the morning of September 30, 2026, leaving his wife, Mercela Anyango, behind. According to a report by Daily Nation, Anyango had told her husband she was going to collect Sh700 from their neighbour, Oburu Owino, to help settle some bills. What began as an ordinary attempt to recover a small debt soon turned tragic. When Juma later went to look for his wife at Owino's home, he found that neither she nor Owino was there, and he headed back toward his own home.

For three weeks, Mvone Okwaro had been working as a housemaid for a couple in Nairobi after travelling from Kakamega in search of work. She never imagined the job would expose her to a night she would struggle to forget. In August 2025, Mvone says she found herself trapped inside the couple's house as an argument between the husband and wife turned deadly.

Throughout the ordeal, Mvone says she could only watch, believing any attempt to intervene could cost her life. Afterward, the man cleaned the weapon, had her return it, and began cleaning the house.

Two years after Constable David Kibet Chesire disappeared into raging floodwaters in central Nairobi, his family is still waiting for answers. Chesire, who was 33 at the time, vanished on the night of March 24, 2024, while responding to an emergency near Country Bus Station, close to Muthurwa Market and Kamukunji.

His AK-47 rifle, loaded with 30 rounds, was also car...
