A 30-year-old woman is in police custody after she allegedly stole over Sh1 million from a reveler whom she drugged at a local joint in Embakasi, Nairobi County.
Virginia Wangui Thiga is accused of almost killing a man with an overdose of a stupefying substance.
According to Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI), the victim had invited the woman and her friend for a drink before the incident.
“Before the unfortunate incident, the man together with a male friend were enjoying their drinks at the popular joint, when all of a sudden two light skinned ladies stepped into the bar. The men beckoned them to join their table but the ladies were hesitant and appeared not interested in their vibe. However, after some few minutes they changed their minds, much to the delight of the two men and joined their table,” read DCI’s report.
At around 4 am on Tuesday, the four left the club for a nearby guest house where moments later the victim’s male friend left, leaving him with the two ladies.
From there henceforth, all the man could recollect was being given some pieces of chicken by the two ladies, before he passed out and found himself at a city hospital, with doctors fighting to save his life.
He later learnt that the ladies had taken off with his mobile phone, ATM and identity card.
Further, he discovered that over Sh1 million had been withdrawn from his mobile and bank accounts.
“Upon recovery, the suspect walked to our headquarters and appealed to serious crimes detectives, to launch a manhunt for the two ladies, who almost killed him with an overdose of a stupefying substance,” stated DCI.
Backed up by cybercrime detectives, the sleuths profiled one of the suspects and pounced on her last evening in Kasarani, Nairobi county.
The suspect shall be arraigned in court today to answer to charges of stealing contrary to section 268 as read with section 275 of the penal code.
