EthametricsIn Newark, Delaware, police have detained Nobert Matara, 32, in connection with the murder of his former girlfriend, 31-year-old Tracy Nyariki. The tragic case unfolded when Nyariki failed to show up for work over several days, prompting her employer to alert authorities.
Law enforcement officers conducted a welfare check at Nyariki’s apartment in the Village of Kent, uncovering signs of foul play that launched an intensive investigation. A statewide alert was issued for Nyariki’s disappearance, and Matara was quickly identified as a person of interest.
On December 21, 2024, detectives, in collaboration with the Aberdeen Police Department, tracked Matara to South Philadelphia Boulevard, where they stopped his vehicle. A shocking discovery followed—dismembered remains believed to be those of Nyariki were found inside the car.
Matara was immediately taken into custody and is currently being held in Maryland while awaiting extradition to Delaware. He faces first-degree murder charges, and investigators have suggested that additional charges may be filed as they continue to analyze the evidence.
The New Castle County Police Department has urged community members to provide any additional information that might aid the investigation. Authorities have emphasized the importance of public awareness and vigilance in preventing domestic violence and ensuring justice for victims.
