A BUL 9mm pistol, a magazine loaded with 13 rounds of ammunition and two spent cartridges were recovered from the scene.

Detectives also collected a handwritten note suspected to have been left by the woman before the incident.Crime Scene Investigation officers from the Nairobi Region examined the apartment and gathered evidence before the bodies were transferred to Chiromo Funeral Parlour.

Postmortem examinations are expected to establish the exact causes of death.
