Family, friends and classmates of 20-year-old Sheila Chebet gathered at the Karatina Police Station after receiving news of her tragic death.
Chebet, a first year student at Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Nyeri County, is allegedly killed by her boyfriend Vincent Bet, a fourth year student at Karatina University.
It is reported that the two had gone to a club in Karatina to have fun, just a few hours before his body was found in a bush under mysterious circumstances.
What did the father of the murdered student say?
His grief-stricken father, Johnstone Korir, could not hold back tears as he spoke of the tragic death. Struggling to control his emotions, he expressed the high hopes he had for his daughter.
“She was an intelligent girl. I had hope; I knew she would be a big person in our family. But this is a big mistake. I will tell her brothers to calm down so that we can give her a dignified burial,” he said while crying.
Isaack Odhiambo, Chebet’s friend and classmate, said he tried to call him at 2pm but he did not pick up despite several attempts.
He described her as a good and polite girl who had no problems with anyone.

What does the CCTV footage show before Chebet’s death?
Vincent and Chebet were with another couple, as seen in CCTV footage from the shop, as they headed home.
The other couple were Vincent’s friend, Edwin Kamau, and his girlfriend, whom Vincent asked to host them for a while as he lived far away and did not have the fare back to school.
The pictures showed Edwin and his girlfriend leading the way to his house at twelve and forty-seven minutes in the evening (6:47 pm), closely followed by Vincent and Chebet.
Later, at one hour and four minutes in the evening (7:04 pm), CCTV captured Edwin and his girlfriend heading to the market—when he said he left Vincent and Chebet at his house to give them privacy.
About 48 minutes later, CCTV captured Chebet and his girlfriend walking on the street, where Chebet was seen swaying as if he was drunk while Vincent held his hand tightly.
At first they were seen going to the town of Karatina, but Vincent suddenly pulled her and took her to another road when they passed in front of the camera.
A few meters from the turning point, his body was later found on Sunday, March 29, around four in the morning (10 am).
Edwin and his girlfriend were seen returning home at two and thirty three minutes at night (8:33 pm), expecting to find Vincent and Chebet at home. That night, Vincent sent Edwin a message claiming that they had been attacked, but did not give further details.
“He said he had run away and left the girl with the attackers and he didn’t know where she was,” said Edwin.
What happened between Chebet and Vincent?
It was reported that Edwin Kamau, Vincent’s friend, said Vincent asked him to spend time with his girlfriend at his house, explaining that he lives far away and did not have the fare to take them there.
As a result, Edwin and his girlfriend went out to the market, leaving the two couples at home.
When they returned, they were nowhere to be found, with Edwin sharing screenshots of their WhatsApp conversations from that night.
