In a police report filed at Masii Police Station, Joyce is suspected to have been strangled by the officer before he killed himself.
Makutano Location Chief Simon Kiminza stated that the two had lastly been seen in public on Sunday, March 15.
The following day, Monday, March 16, the officer was seen in public alone and Kiminza stated that he looked disturbed.
"It is most likely he had killed the woman he was cohabiting with on Sunday. No one suspected he had committed any crime until Wednesday, March 18, when Mutua’s mother, Esther Kaloki, went to knock on his door after she failed to see him for over two days.
"It was then that his body and that of the woman he was cohabiting with were found. The woman’s body had bruises on the face and cut wounds in other parts of her body,” Kimanzi stated.
In addition, the chief stated that the two had been having unending disputes in their relationship.
