The Kenya Medical Prosecutor’s Office (KMP) confirmed the arrest of five suspects in connection with the brutal killing of Patricia Kairu, a 21‑year‑old student at Kampala International University (KIU). The investigation, launched after Kairu’s body was discovered near the university campus last month, uncovered a disturbing pattern of extortion and intimidation targeting female students. Police say the suspects, all linked to a local criminal ring, lured Kairu under the pretense of a job interview before assaulting her. The arrests have been hailed by student activists as a step toward justice, but protests continue demanding stricter campus security and a transparent inquiry into how the perpetrators evaded detection for so long.
