Suspect Arrested on Suspicion of Killing Missing Kenyan Woman in London
Police in London, UK have arrested a man on suspicion of murdering a Kenyan woman, who is still missing.
24-year-old Maureen Gitau was reported missing by her family on December 10th, having last been seen on December 5th as she left her home on Evelyn Street in Deptford, Lewisham.
BBC reports that a 54-year-old man was arrested on Friday on suspicion of her murder and he remains in police custody. Investigations indicate that Maureen and the suspect knew each other, Scotland Yard said.
“This arrest is a significant development in what is now being treated as a murder investigation. Whilst we have not located Maureen’s body we have reason to believe she has come to serious harm and has likely been killed,” said Detective Chief Inspector Kate Blackburn, who leads the investigation.
“Maureen’s family have been informed and they will be supported by specialist officers. This news has come as a terrible shock. My thoughts, and those of my team, are with them at this very difficult time.”
Police are appealing to anyone who knew Maureen and who saw her on December 5th in the Deptford area, or anyone who believes they have information that could assist their investigation, to call 101, giving the reference 3230985/22. Information can also be provided to Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
Maureen was last seen wearing black jeans, a black top and black jacket. She described to have short black hair with brown highlights at the top. She has links to the Lewisham, Charlton, Woolwich and Deptford areas.

Sad
RIP , really sad.
I am wondering what would have transpired between a 54-year-old man and a 24-year-old Kenyan woman to have resulted in a death on foreign soul. Love, land issues, con games, or what?
Dont you Know that Young KIKUYU men of Today don't Function for Political for VOTER number Reason? The NYAYO Regime finished Them through Contaminated alcohol (in Central) to Stop KIKUYUs from Increasing their Population? And Now that the Regime is Back on Duty: It's Going to Get Worse for the Men.
To you 54 yrs old fool and coward, Incase you ever read this, plus any other coward out there planning on taking another's life in the name of "hurting" them.
You really never hurt anyone whom you kill or killed. Never. You only put them to rest, to sleep. A place where you too are soon headed, the only difference being they, the dead, preceded you.
Now, if you ever want to hurt another why not empty their bank account (s), spread lies about them, blacklist them from ever getting a job, break havoc their marriage etcetera.
Killing another only hurts those left living to mourn their death. Get it!
Also, rather than wrestle a young woman whose muscle weight far underweights yours, why not do so with a man your age and physique? This is a fight worth talking about.
Otherwise, you remain a coward and an overgrown man stuck in a 13 year old boy!
Otherwise, condolences to the family, friends and everyone who has lost a loved one due from such cowardice.

Killing another only hurts those left living to mourn their death and, you personally. You hurt yourself the greatest for the images of their last breath, their last scream, their eyes wide open while in shock WILL NEVER LEAVE YOUR MIND. Never! You will forever remain haunted by this gruesome dead or dying body. Get it!
