On November 21, 2019, a shocking discovery was made in Ugunja, Siaya County, Kenya, where the body of 40-year-old journalist Eric Oloo was found soaked in blood in a bed in the house of Chief Inspector of Police Sabina Kerubo.
Ms. Kerubo, who was found drinking in a chang'aa den, has been arrested in connection with the journalist's death.
According to sources, Ms. Kerubo and Mr. Oloo were in a romantic relationship, which has been confirmed by Siaya County police commander Francis Kooli.
Mr. Oloo's mother, Keziah Oloo, and cousin Crispin Odhiambo stated that he had been living with the officer since 2018.
Police have questioned the officer's house-help, who recorded her statement at Ugunja Police Station, to establish whether the chief inspector was at home at the time of the incident.
