Police in Dandora, Nairobi have arrested a couple after they reported the death of their six-year-old daughter in their house.

The couple went to the police station seeking assistance to move the body to the mortuary.

This took place on Tuesday 12th December as the couple said that their daughter suffered chest complications.

Police who visited the scene say that they suspect that it could be a murder case after they discovered marks around her neck and back.

Nairobi Police Boss Adamson Bungei has said that they suspect the child had been strangled and will ask the court to allow them to detain the couple pending investigations.

“We are investigating a murder in this case even though we are yet to establish the motive behind this if any,” Bungei said.

The body was moved to the mortuary pending autopsy and the couple arrested pending investigations.

The law enforces are now working to understand the events leading to the death of the girl.
