Man found dead in gas-filled house in Nairobi

A 21-year-old man named Feruz Husein was discovered dead inside a one-bedroom house in Cieko, Sunton, Nairobi on September 30. The incident is currently being investigated as a suspected murder. Police were alerted to the situation by a report made at the Sunton Police Station around 3:30 pm on the same day. Upon arrival, officers found the locked house and, after breaking the padlock, discovered that the property was filled with leaking gas from a 13-kilogramme cylinder hidden near a wardrobe in the bedroom.

Husein's body was found on the bed in a supine position, with no visible physical injuries. Neighbors reported seeing a man on a motorcycle leaving the house at around 8 am on Wednesday and heading to an unknown destination. No one heard any commotion or suspected anything was amiss. Crime scene investigators documented the scene, and the body was subsequently transferred to the Kenyatta University mortuary for a postmortem examination.

Police are now investigating the circumstances surrounding Husein's death and the potential involvement of the individual who was seen leaving the house.
