The man whose identity is yet to be revealed hid in the Delamere plantation but the residents were not ready to give up on nabbing him.
Witnesses said residents lit a fire in the plantation to smoke the man out.
When he emerged, he tried to attack some of the residents but was outnumbered.
Thika Deputy OCPD Muthee said police traced the man’s close relative through his phone, who confirmed that indeed the two were a couple and that they had a child together.
The man is believed to have lured the woman to the deserted area to commit the crime. There was evidence of fast food in some of the car seats.
The two bodies have been moved to the mortuary.
