Kennedy Kalombotole, the prime suspect in the murders of two patients at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), has been charged with murder. He appeared at the Kibera Law Courts and will undergo further mental health assessments before his trial begins, remaining detained at Industrial Area Remand.

• Kalombotole is linked to the killings of Edward Maingi Ndegwa on July 17, 2025, and Gilbert Kinyua Muthoni in February 2025, both in KNH wards.
• Investigations by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) uncovered disturbing details, including bloody slippers connected to Kalombotole, described as a long-term homeless patient at the facility.
• The murders have sparked significant public outrage, leading Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale to order a comprehensive security overhaul across all national referral hospitals, including limiting visitors to two per patient.
