Security heightened at KNH following murder of patient » Capital News

NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 9 – The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) management says security has been heightened at the facility following the murder of a patient Gilbert Kinyua in the ward.

Speaking during a press conference on Sunday, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) William Sigilai stated that the hospital is fully cooperating with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) which is investigating the matter.

He assured that no one will interfere with the probe on the matter which he described as a ‘murder most foul.’

Kinyua, 39, was discovered with his throat slit inside Ward 7B on Friday morning.

He had been admitted to the hospital on December 11, 2024, with a cerebral disorder, but nearly a month later, his hospital bed became the scene of a brutal crime.
