Kayole has been known for various criminal activities over a long period of time, but how an unknown person turned tables on a police officer still remains a question! A police officer is nursing serious injuries after she was attacked and stabbed several times by an unknown person on Sunday morning in Kayole, Nairobi.
Ms Caroline Waithera was returning home just after midnight when she was confronted by the assailant outside her house, police said.
The assailant stabbed her on the head, chest and shoulder with a kitchen knife, which was found on her veranda by police officers after members of the public reported the incident.
Police said they are yet to establish the motive of the attack.
Ms Waithera was taken to Mama Lucy Hospital and police said she is in a stable conditions.
An investigation has been launched to find the attacker.
This is not the first time such incidences are happening in Kayole. In the recent past, another police officer was attacked in the same area by a gang group who robbed him off his gun.
Cases of police officers being killed by gang groups have also been reported in the area. Do you think sanity will return in the region at some point?
