In an emotional statement to Nairobi News, he expressed profound grief over the loss, highlighting her achievements and the family’s shock at the unfolding tragedy.
“I am heartbroken; she was doing so well in life. We last met on Christmas, and on December 31, we spent time together at home. We had not seen the man before. We learned about him after her death. This is so tragic for us, the family, and even her friends. May her soul rest in peace,” Pastor Kanyari shared.
Starlet Wahu’s life was cut short, and she is set to be laid to rest today, January 6, at her parents’ home in Kamulu.

Investigations revealed that Starlet and a male companion had rented the apartment for a night out. Various items, including an HIV testing kit, used condoms, clothing, a mobile phone, alcohol, and a knife believed to be the murder weapon, were recovered from the scene.
The suspect, who had sustained a stab wound, was traced to a local hospital in Nairobi, where he was promptly apprehended.
