Medical tests show someone strangled Sylvia Kemunto to death. The first-year Multimedia University student fought hard against her attacker. Government doctor Johansen Oduor found neck injuries that proved someone had cut off her oxygen supply. The crime shocked people across the country. Police arrested Eric Mutinda, another first-year student from the same school, who later told detectives what happened.
Eric visited his sister Miriam in Kasarani on the 28th. They planned a Sunday hiking trip to Ololua. Miriam gave him rice to deliver somewhere. Eric met a woman at Kencom before heading to campus around noon. He talked with his roommates and asked for a chest bag they would need for hiking. He went to see Sylvia about the bag but found her washing clothes.
He tried to fix their relationship problems, but she said no. Things turned ugly when Sylvia made Eric angry. He pushed her onto the bed and used a hoodie rope to strangle her. After killing her, Eric stuffed her body into a suitcase and moved it to his room. He covered her with a blanket, left for a walk, and came back 40 minutes later. Eric acted normal the rest of the day without telling anyone what he did.
That night, Eric put the body back in the suitcase and went to sleep. Early morning around 4 AM, he moved Sylvia to a tank. He took the SIM card from her phone and threw it away on campus but kept the phone itself. Later, he went to Jesus is Alive Ministry church and gave the phone as an offering. Investigators found the phone, which helped their case a lot.
Eric went home but confessed to his family after watching news about the murder on TV. His parents took him to Sultan Hamud Police Station, where he turned himself in. Right now, police hold Eric at Capital Hill Police Station as they continue looking into the case. The entire story reveals how a campus dispute turned deadly between two young students who once knew each other.
