Eric Maina who was well known by his street name; Mpole and his girlfriend identified as Truphena were confirmed dead. The two lovebirds seemed to be living their lives to their fullest despite having no revealed source of earning a living. They were residents of Umoja Estate where they lived in a lavish 2-bedroom house, that was well-furnished. Mpole and Truphena used to spend some good time indoors and always played loud music. They also used to have good relations with their neighbours.
"Mlepos" was their YouTube channel where they used to upload things revolving around their life as well as several songs since Erick had a dream of becoming a musician someday. However, their channel had not picked up yet.
It was on a Saturday when it was noted that the flat had become silent since there was no loud music that often emanated from Eric's house. This raised the suspicion of the flat's caretaker who went ahead and called one of the Eric's guardian who also lives in the same apartment and is suspected to have been financing the lavish lifestyle of Mpole and his girlfriend. The caretaker also alerted the policemen who quickly responded, went into Eric's apartment only to find the worst. The two had been killed. Truphena's body lay in a pool of blood by the toilet and had stabs at the neck, abdomen and chest regions and her hands had been tightly tired using a piece of cloth while that of her boyfriend was in the bedroom and had a cable around his neck.
According to the neighbours, there were precise shouts from the house of the fallen couple on Friday night, which lasted for a very short time. Whatever raised their suspence the morning that followed was the missing loud music from the slain couple's apartment and by the afternoon there was a displeasing smell that emanated from their house. The neighbours at first thought that it was the smell of garbage but it intensified on Sunday where the landlord was alerted and on Monday the police broke into the slain couple's apartment and found that the two had been killed. It was also found out that several things were missing from the apartment such as the slain couple's mobile phones, their laptops, TV set and their music system. The police are still carrying out investigation to find out the killer of the young couple.
