A 32-year-old Kenyan man has been arrested in the United States after the remains of a Kenyan woman were found inside his vehicle on Saturday night, December 21.
The haunting discovery was made when the colleagues of the deceased filed a missing person’s report when she missed work for several days.
Police officers at the Aberdeen Police Department launched an investigation ultimately in a bid to find the 31-year-old woman.
On conducting a welfare check at the victim’s residence, she was nowhere to be found but her apartment at Village of Kent Apartments in Bear, New York bore evidence of foul play.

“We uncovered several suspicious circumstances that raised concerns about her safety and well-being,” the police reported.
On Saturday, officers from the New Castle County Police Department in Delaware sought assistance in locating a missing male described as “homicidal.”
The suspect’s vehicle was subsequently located in Aberdeen, with its owner spotted nearby.
“On Saturday, 21 December 2024, at 5:00 pm, officers from the Aberdeen Police Department were asked by the New Castle County Police Department in Delaware to assist in locating a missing person and a potential male homicidal individual,” part of the Aberdeen Police report stated.
“Officers responded to the 1100 block of S. Philadelphia Boulevard and located the homicidal male. Subsequent investigation led to the discovery of human remains in a vehicle. The male was later arrested.”
Currently, the man is in police custody in Aberdeen, Maryland awaiting extradition to Delaware to face murder charges.
However, police reported that he might face more charges once the investigations conclude.
It is still not known what prompted the altercation between the two and the extent of their relationship is yet to be established although they were known acquaintances.
