The Kenya Medical Practitioners (KMP) police unit has taken five suspects into custody in connection with the brutal killing of Patricia Kairu, a 21‑year‑old student at Kabianga University (KIU). Kairu was found dead on campus last Friday, sparking outrage among students and faculty. According to investigators, the suspects are believed to be part of a local gang that targeted the victim after a dispute over tuition fees. Police say forensic evidence links all five men to the crime scene, and they have been charged with murder, conspiracy, and obstruction of justice. The university has called for a swift trial and announced counseling services for the student body.
