Nairobi - The family of preacher Victor Kanyari is grieving following the gruesome murder of his younger sister, Starlet Wahu.

Wahu had checked into an Airbnb apartment in South B, Papino, with a man identified as John Matara before he reportedly turned on her.

According to the police, the 24-year-old girl bled to death from the wounds, while Matara fled the scene with a stab wound of his own.

Matara was later arrested at Mbagathi Hospital, where he had gone to seek medical attention.

What happened before Wahu's murder

CCTV footage from the entrance of the building has shed light on what transpired before Matara allegedly took Wahu's life.

The two supposed lovers are seen walking side by side in the footage before stopping at the building's ground-floor lift.

In a red skirt and denim jacket, Wahu paced around Matara, who was waiting for the lift to come to the ground floor.

They were later seen stepping out of the lift and heading to house number Y32, where the young woman would be found dead with stab wounds around her thighs.

The two had rented the house, an Airbnb, for a night out, but it is yet to be established if they had a relationship prior to her killing.

Why couldn't the police save Starlet Wahu

Makadara police commander Judith Nyongesa told the media that it still would have been a tough ask to save Wahu after her attack.

The police boss explained that a vital organ had been severed, which made her lose a lot of blood at the scene.

"He severed the vein leading to the heart, which caused her swift death, and we couldn't save her because she had lost a lot of blood," Nyongesa said.
