A woman who had gone out partying with a Catholic priest before he was murdered has claimed that they had been in a relationship for the last six years.
Detectives say the 25-year-old woman, who worked in a guest house in Nkubu town, had been drinking with Eutychus Murangiri before he was stabbed at around 1.45am on Tuesday.
Fr Murangiri, 32, was a Diocesan priest who had served for one year after his ordination as deacon at the St Pius Seminary, Nkubu, in June last year.
In December, he was ordained as a priest and posted to Limbine Parish in Tigania West.
Meru Catholic Diocese spokesman Oreste Murimi said Murangiri would be buried on Monday at Mujwa Catholic Cemetery.
In her statement, the woman told detectives she started dating Murangiri in 2013 when she was still in college in Embu.
