An 41-year-old man, Jones Muinde Areba, succumbed to what appears to be electrocution at his residence in Embakasi, Nairobi, in the early hours of Sunday morning. Found unconscious on the floor near an electrical cooking coil, his daughter discovered him and alerted his wife, who rushed to the scene. Neighbors were summoned and helped transport Areba to Tasia Hill Hospital, where medical staff determined he had no central pulse.
Despite efforts, he was pronounced dead upon arrival. The family first took the body to Chiromo Mortuary but were directed to Embakasi Police Station due to the suspected electrocution incident. The body was then sent to Mother Lucy Kibaki Hospital for preservation until an autopsy could be conducted to determine the exact cause of death.
Separately, another individual, 35-year-old Agai Were, was fatally stabbed in a quarrel in Kiambiu informal settlement on September 27, 2026. Found unresponsive with a stab wound to the neck, police arrived at the scene and discovered the murder weapon. Were's body was transported to Nairobi City Funeral Home for preservation and subsequent postmortem examination, with detectives actively investigating the circumstances of his murder.
