Irungu 'shot self' in Maribe bedroom

Mr Joseph Irungu, the prime suspect in the horror killing of a woman in Nairobi two weeks ago, shot himself inside his fiancée Jacque Maribe’s bedroom, investigators now believe.

The bullet punched a small hole in his chest, exited through his back, and ricocheted off Ms Maribe’s bedroom wall.

Investigators on Saturday found a wheat flour patch over the hole in the wall while the weapon was found hidden in the ceiling of a neighbour, who has since been arrested.
