Police had to break into the house of the Nyamaiya Health Centre-based nurse to access the body. But the health worker was not in the house.
On Monday, January 2, 2023, a detective attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) who is privy to the ongoing investigations said police are investigating a possible love triangle involving the deceased.
Mr Nkeere, according to area residents who spoke to detective, was a frequent visitor to the home of the nurse who works at Nyamaiya Health Center.

“The nurse and who lived where the body was found has already disappeared and officers are working round the clock to smoke her out of her hideout. We have also received reports that she was also seeing a politician in Nyamira County. Plans are underway to grill the politician,” the detective said.
Immediately after Mr Nkeere was reported missing, police officers, through intelligence, were directed to the home of the nurse in Egesieri village, West Mugirango, Nyamira County.
