Police in Meru town are searching for a 24-year-old bar waitress who disappeared under unclear circumstances on Thursday evening.
According to her husband, Nicholas Murimi, 29, Anne Kathure failed to return home at the end of her shift at 11.00 pm, and her phone was switched off.
What's more intriguing is that Murimi reported that Anne's clothes, including a trouser, top, jumper, shoes, and brassiere, were found dumped outside their house.
“I was worried when she did not turn up and her phone was switched off. None of her colleagues would tell me anything concrete about what time she had left the club,” Murimi said.
Anne, who was just two months into her job at the Office Inn club in Gitimbine area, Meru, had signed out at 12.30 pm, but her last phone signal was located near the Inspectorate of Motor Vehicles Meru premises, one kilometre away from the club, at 10.54 pm.
North Imenti Head of Criminal Investigations James Githinji assured the public that they were working on the case and urged for confidence and cooperation from the family.
“This matter was initially under the OCS and we just took over on Saturday and we have detectives involved,” Githinji said.
