Before embarking on his nefarious quest, the suspect is said to have traveled from Nakuru.

The stranger who was forbidden from entering the hotels managed to get past the university's security guards and inside the hostel.

According to the deceased's roommate, the man had made several advances towards Gertrude, but they had all been rebuffed.

Witnesses who overheard a heated altercation in the room were told not to be concerned since the dispute would be resolved.

On Wednesday, neighbours alerted by a scream broke into the house only to discover Gertrude dangling in a pool of blood in a critical condition with many stab wounds on her body.

Ezra, who feared the fury of the enraged mobs, attempted to take his life by stabbing himself in the neck and stomach.

Officers from a nearby station rushed to the murder site and rescued the suspect from the claws of enraged comrades determined to eliminate him.

He was later rushed to Nyahururu Referral Hospital, where he is reported to be stable.

Unfortunately, Gertrude lost her life on their way to the hospital and was taken to Nyahururu County Referral morgue.

The police have since launched investigations into the heinous act.

Youtube Deletes R. Kelly's Accounts Following His Conviction for Sex Trafficking

Euronews [Photo/Courtesy] YouTube has taken down R. Kelly's official channels following his conviction for sex trafficking charges last week. The jury said that the R&B artist took advantage of his status to exploit unsuspecting women and young girls. The gullible folks were converted into Kelly's sex slaves rather than obtaining much-needed assistance with their music. His two channels had over 5 million subscribers. His two accounts, RKellyTV and RKellyVevo, were permanently suspended for what YouTube termed as "violation of its terms of service." The move bars the singer from owning new channels or creating any YouTube content.

In a memo released by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Elijah Omwenga, all the students were instructed to vacate the school premises by 3:30 PM EAT. The comrades who had just reported back to school were perplexed to learn of the 40% fee increase, something that didn't sit well with them. As they spoke to the media, the students expressed their displeasure, arguing that it is improper to consider such decisions. "We are going to unravel the unscrupulous expenditure that is going on in Kabianga," one of them remarked. Completely irked by the decision, the students who were breathing fire in front of the camera bitterly sought the justification behind the fee hike. "We are so tired.
