By STEVE NJUGUNAMore by this AuthorMystery surrounds the murder of a 38-year-old businesswoman by unknown people who left Sh300,000 cash beside her body. Ms Mary Muturi's decomposing body was found on Wednesday evening after neighbours broke into her home in Kiamaina village on the outskirts of Nyahururu town, Laikipia County. Mr Stephen Maingi, the area's assistant chief, said residents found Ms Muturi's main door locked so they had to break in. Residents said they were worried about the rising number of murders in the area - Ms Muturi's case was the fifth in less than six months. In December 2018, a 70-year-old grand mother was raped and strangled to death in her house, several metres from Ms Muturi's.
