Strathmore University Student Found Dead and Dangling In a Wardrobe
A 21-year-old female student at Strathmore University was found dead and dangling in a wardrobe in her hostel room at Madaraka estate on Sunday the 5th of June.
According to Lang’ata Sub-County Police Commander Benjamin Mwanthi, the incident is being investigated.
The late female student’s body was found in her wardrobe with a scarf tied around her neck with the girl’s body position indicating that she might have committed suicide. However, in line with their training, Mwanthi revealed that the police will not jump to conclusions until a postmortem has been performed.
The student, Nicole Chemutai Serem, a Strathmore University second-year has been successfully identified by the police.
“We did not find any suicide note,” said Lang’ata Police boss Mwanthi.
Serem classmates had been reported missing by her friends on Friday, the 3rd of June.
The police officers revealed that the caretaker of her hostel broke into her room and found her body.
“There were no physical injuries,” said Mwanthi.
Following the discovery, Serem’s body was taken to Coty Mortuary to undergo an autopsy.
In another incident, police are probing an incident where a woman was found dead in a bar located in Kasarani area in Nairobi.
According to witnesses, the woman identified as Njeri was with two men at the bar before they left her there seated.

The body was then transported to the mortuary to be prepared for identification and postmortem. At the moment of writing, no suspects had been apprehended.
