    “After vehemently apologising for the sudden change of the party venue, Patoo led them to a dark path which he said would lead to their final rendezvous,” DCI’s statement read in part.

    “But the city babes, who had never experienced such darkness in their lives started screaming,” it added.

    Overpowered by their screams and battles, Patoo reportedly stabbed the lady leaving her in critical condition. Area residents rescued and rushed her to the nearest medical facility, where she was attended to and transferred to another facility for specialised treatment.

    “Patoo immediately reached for a knife and stabbed her on the shoulder before fleeing into darkness,” the statement added.

    DCI detectives launched the manhunt for the suspect following the attack. Further, detectives pleaded with the public to share information leading to the suspect’s arrest.

    The attack came months after DCI warned Kenyans over online scams and traps leading to lose of money and abductions.
