In a shocking turn of events, Salome Wanjiru, the woman accused of brutally stabbing her boyfriend, Conrad Nyabuto, 27 times in 2024, has been granted a Ksh 300,000 bond. The court ruled that Wanjiru needed 30 days to access treatment, a decision that has sparked outrage among Nyabuto’s family and the public.
The brutal murder, which sent shockwaves across the country, saw Nyabuto sustain multiple stab wounds in what prosecutors described as a “cold-blooded attack fueled by rage.” The case has been dragging in court, with Wanjiru’s defense arguing that she suffers from an undisclosed medical condition requiring urgent attention.
While the prosecution strongly opposed her release, citing the severity of the crime and the risk of flight, the judge ruled in favor of her temporary freedom. The decision has left many questioning whether justice is being served, with Nyabuto’s relatives condemning what they see as a “slap on the wrist” for the accused.
