The body of a female police officer, Hellen Kwamboka, was discovered on 24th May in her home in Umoja Estate, Nairobi.
The police officer was an officer based at the Parliament Police Station and had been to the office where she left at around 7 pm.
Hellen was expected to report to work the following day in the morning, which was on Friday, but failed. When police officers tried to reach her from Parliament Police Station, their calls went unanswered prompting them to visit her home in Umoja Estate.
Officers were met by locked doors which led them to suspect that something was amiss. The officers broke into Helen’s house and found her body lying lifeless on her bed.
