    "content": "Sultan Hamud Township, Makueni. While at his rural home, in the company of his father and mother, news came up on national television about the discovery of a body within Multimedia University rooftop reservoir tank. It was at this point that he confessed to how he killed the deceased before dumping the body in a water tank. Subsequently, his parents escorted him to Sultan Hamud Police Station, where he was booked under OB No.4/4/4/2025. The DCI home site detectives collected the suspect from Sultan Hamud Police Station. During interrogation, he confessed to the murder and also led investigators to the church where he had given Silvia’s mobile phone as an offering. DNA samples from both the suspect and the deceased were submitted to the Government Chemist for forensic analysis. On 8th April 2025, a post-mortem was conducted by the Chief Government Pathologist, Dr Johansen Oduor, which revealed that the cause of death was asphyxia along with blunt force injury to the head. Investigation established that Eric Mutinda acted alone, with the motive identified as a relationship-related dispute. He was subsequently transferred to Capitol Hill Police Station and later presented before Kibera Law Courts for a miscellaneous application. The court granted 21 days custodial order to allow the completion of investigations. The DCI homicide team is working in close collaboration with the Office of the Director Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to ensure appropriate charges are preferred on the suspect. The matter was scheduled for mention on 28th April 2025 when the suspect, Eric Mutinda, was formally charged with the offense of murder contrary to section 203 as read together with section 204 of the Penal Code. I think that should be sufficient, Hon. Speaker."
