Police hunt matatu driver over stabbing of 19-year-old passenger

Police in Vihiga County are hunting for the driver of a 14-seater matatu operating under Safi Line Sacco after he allegedly stabbed 19-year-old Sylvia Moraa and dumped her in a thicket in the Mbale area. Sylvia had boarded the matatu on Monday, August 3, intending to travel to Busia. Instead, she says she found herself on the road to Kakamega before the journey took a violent turn. The driver allegedly stabbed her and abandoned her in a thicket, leaving her fighting for her life. The suspect remains at large, while Sylvia is receiving treatment at Kenyatta National Hospital.
