Police are investigating an incident where a 26-year-old man was stabbed and killed in an altercation outside a bar in Matungulu, Machakos County.
Police and witnesses said Dennis Momanyi was stabbed by people known to him and who had earlier been engaged in a quarrel with him.
Momanyi had earlier quarrelled with his killers in a bar before the assailants left. They then called him outside the bar, where they stabbed him fatally.
The assailants escaped the scene soon after the murder.
Police said Momanyi was stabbed on the left side of his chest. The motive of the incident was not immediately established, police said of the November 30 tragedy.
In the same area in Tala, police are looking for a gang that was armed with a pistol and an AK-47 rifle who attacked a shopkeeper and robbed her of an unknown amount of money and other valuables.
The attackers threatened to shoot the female shopkeeper as they ordered her to surrender.
Police said they escaped without injuring anyone, and the hunt for the gang of three is ongoing.
Detectives are also investigating the murder of a 30-year-old man whose body was found dumped at a sewage area in Nakuru County.
The man, identified as Jackson Marucha, had earlier Monday dawn been picked up by unknown people from his house. The men forced him into their waiting car before speeding off.
He was then stabbed several times before his body was dumped in the area.
The mother of the deceased told police that a caller known to her told her to go and pick the body of the deceased from where it was lying in the Rhonda area.
The woman rushed to the scene and stumbled on the body. Police were called to the scene and moved the body to the mortuary pending an autopsy and other procedures.

The motive of the murder is yet to be established.
