Gregory Mutinda made a call to his girlfriend asking for cash to buy mandazi.
Gregory Mutinda was a 24-year-old student at Technical University of Mombasa.
His body was discovered inside his house in Tudor’s Kaa Chonjo neighborhood in Mombasa.
His girlfriend, Miss Mercy Munyao, claims that her boyfriend spent Sunday with their son.
“I was not around that day. But together with his friend they visited my place and spent the day with our son. In my mind I knew all was well. The next day we talked early in the morning around 9am in the morning and asked if he was going to the workplace where he was doing his internship. He replied in the affirmative and we bid each other goodbye,” says Miss Munyao.
Ms Munyao says, Mutinda called her and borrowed Sh150 to buy ‘Mandazi’.
“I did not have any money in my Mpesa so I told him I had cash, he went silent and hung up. At around 11am I texted Gregory but the message was not delivered,” narrates Mis Munyao.
“Around 3pm I called my boyfriend and he did not pick up. I decided to give him a few minutes assuring myself that maybe he was in a matatu heading home, and once he arrives he will call me back,” she continues.
Munyao claims she assumed her partner was preoccupied at work.
“He never missed picking my calls, I was worried and called a friend who stayed in the same apartment as Gregory. The colleague informed me, he had moved out. I called two more people who said they were in school at the time. The fourth person I rang raised red flags, he told me the previous day that he was with Mutinda, he looked dull and in a somber mood and that I should immediately go and look for him, which I did,” she adds further.
When she arrived at her boyfriend’s place, she checked inside via the window and saw things scattered and her boyfriend’s body on the floor.
“I did not open the door, I went and bought credit and called my friends who came and we opened the door together. We had to break down the door since it was locked from inside. We found a syringe beside him and he had injuries on his left side of the chest,” said Ms Munyao.
Mutinda was a third year student at TUM studying Bachelor of Science in Information Technology.
Police report says that one severe knife stab wound was present on the deceased’s body.
