Mwende is accused of stabbing her ex-boyfriend three times in the chest with a kitchen knife during a heated argument.
The brutal attack left the victim severely injured, and following the incident, Mwende disappeared without a trace.
She has since cut off all communication with family and friends, and has been avoiding her usual locations, making it difficult for authorities to track her down.
“In the case, Mary Mwende reportedly stabbed her ex-boyfriend three times on the chest using a kitchen knife, after a tiff that sundered their once dazzling love. After the heinous attack, she went underground, carefully effacing the track behind her,” read a post from the DCI.
