SIAYA, Kenya – A police corporal based at General Service Unit headquarters was killed in a brutal night attack on his home in Got Nyapong Village, Bondo Sub-County, Siaya County. The victim, Corporal Henry Okello Omondi Ojudi, aged 44, was killed around 2:30am on Monday while sleeping in bed with his wife. Two masked assailants, bearing knives, broke into the property and entered the bedroom, fatally stabbing Ojudi twice in the chest before dragging him outside.
