Police in Nairobi have launched an investigation following a violent home invasion at Ushirika Tower in Eastleigh on Friday, November 1, around 4:40 PM.
In a statement on Sunday, November 3, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) reported that an armed intruder gained access to a sixth-floor apartment with the assistance of a house help identified as Everlyne, a Ugandan national who had been employed by the household only three weeks earlier.
The assailant allegedly used a hammer to assault a 20-year-old Somali house help, Hakimo Muhidin, who sustained serious injuries during the incident.
"Upon entering, the assailant, reportedly a Ugandan national, grievously assaulted a 20-year-old Somali house-help named Hakimo Muhidin, with assistance from Everlyne," the DCI stated.
According to the police report, Muhidin was treated for a broken tooth, injury to her hand, head trauma, and bruising to both her legs.
Visible whip marks on the back were also recorded by medical examiners showing the level of physical abuse she had been subjected to.

"Hakimo Muhidin sustained serious injuries, including a broken tooth and injuries to her hand, head, and legs.
Additionally, she exhibited signs of having been whipped, with visible marks on her back," the DCI added.
During the assault, several valuables were stolen from the residence, including gold jewelry, an unspecified amount of cash in both Kenyan shillings and U.S. dollars, and four laptops.
The tenant, a Somali man, was absent at the time of the incident since he had gone out with his children.
His wife was said to be in India receiving medical treatment.
The police added that Everlyne and the attacker fled the scene immediately after the robbery.
