Police are probing the death of a Dutch national in an apartment in Shanzu, Mombasa.
The remains of Herman Rouwenhorst were discovered on Friday after police responded to a distress call from a woman near Serena Beach hotel.
The woman, identified as Riziki Cherono, was found by the police tightly strapped on the steering wheel.
“She alleged that she was driven in her car to the said place from their apartment,” a police report filed at Bamburi Police Station under OB 6/4/6/2021 reads in part.
