A man was stabbed to death in a robbery incident in the Mathare slums, Nairobi.
The incident happened Wednesday
morning, police said.
The victim had crawled to the gate of
a Uzima Dispensary and sought medical attention.
The facility was closed by then,
witnesses said.
This was after he had been stabbed in
the chest by his assailants, police and witnesses said.
A good Samaritan who stumbled on him at
the gate of the facility rushed him to the MSF Hospital along Juja Road where
he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police were called to the scene and
searched the body, recovering Sh3,950 from his pocket.
It was not immediately established how
and where he was attacked. But he had said he was attacked by a gang that was
out to rob him in vain. He resisted prompting the fatal stabbing.
The victim did not have an identification document with him then, police said as they moved the body to the mortuary.
Elsewhere in the Mamboleo area, Kisumu
County, a Tanzanian national was found dead.
Police said Amedeus Kimatryo, who used
to work at a local catholic church, was found unconscious with injuries to the
head and rushed to hospital, where he succumbed to the injuries.
It is not clear why and how he was
targeted. The body was moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy.
And in Bosongo, Kisii County, a
three-year-old boy was found dead in their house in the Nyansancha area.
Police said they are investigating a murder in the incident. The child’s body had bruises on the right ear and
mouth.
The motive of the murder is yet to be
known, police said of the Wednesday incident.
The body was moved to a local mortuary
pending autopsy and investigations.
In Kabiyet, Nandi County, a man
stabbed and killed a woman in an altercation over food.
The deceased was stabbed accidentally
after her husband ducked the stab from his brother.
The assailant had arrived at the home
of the deceased woman, identified as Chepkurui Kandie and asked for food.
Kandie is a sister-in-law to the
assailant.
Police say the assailant was agitated
after he was served with food he did not like and started to quarrel with the
woman, prompting his brother, who is the husband of the deceased, to intervene.
It was then that the assailant picked
up a knife and targeted his brother, who ducked. The stab fell on the woman, killing her.
The suspect was later arrested and
handed over to the local police. Police said they are investigating the
Wednesday incident.
Murder incidents have been on the rise amid efforts to solve them.
