Missing Kiru Secondary School principal found dead, wife arrested

The wife of slain Kiru Secondary School principal, Solomon Mwangi, has been arrested, hours after his body was found dumped inside a coffee farm in Juja, Kiambu County.

Jane Muthoni Mbuthi, who is also a Principal at Ichachiri Girls High School in Gatundu, Kiambu County, is expected to be arraigned in a Muranga Court later today over the mysterious murder.

Mwangi failed to collect Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination papers from the Murang’a County commissioner’s office on November 7, and this prompted security and school officials to look for him.

After Mwangi went missing on Sunday, teachers from Muranga County staged protests, asking police to look into the disappearance.

According to Murang’a DCIO Japheth Maingi, the body of Solomon Mwangi was dumped at Juja Kiahuria farm in Weteithie Dam.

Police are still conducting investigations into the murder, adding that they are looking to unearth the motive of the killing.
