Police in Kasarani are investigating the fatal stabbing of a 35-year-old man during a dispute over a woman in the Kasarani area of Nairobi.
The altercation occurred on Saturday in the Wonderland area and reportedly involved individuals who had been socializing at a local bar before the incident unfolded.
