He stated,
“I have multiple Airbnb’s, and I will be taking it to parliament to make sure that every single Airbnb must be registered, and the owner’s identity must be established. Additionally, every individual checking into an Airbnb must also be identified beforehand.”
Jalang’o’s impassioned statement comes in the aftermath of Starlet’s tragic demise, which unfolded in an Airbnb in the South B area of Nairobi.
The incident occurred after Starlet checked in with a man identified as John Matara. According to reports, the two had planned for a night of intimacy in the Airbnb, but matters took a dire turn when John began demanding money from Starlet for her release.
Tragically, the confrontation escalated, and John proceeded to inflict multiple stab wounds on Starlet, ultimately leading to her untimely death. Further investigations revealed that John Matara was a serial offender who had been carrying out his nefarious activities within various Airbnbs throughout the city.
