On November 14, a 90-year-old man named Edward Kamau Mukiha was fatally stabbed outside his home in Gatuamba Village, Nyeri County, by two armed robbers. His 70-year-old wife witnessed the attack and was also injured while trying to protect him. Police in Kieni East are investigating the incident, which occurred while Mukiha was enjoying the sun outside his house.
Two middle-aged men arrived in a red motor vehicle, cut through the chain-link fence, and demanded scrap metal from the homestead. The elderly Mukiha refused, stating the items were not for sale. One of the attackers then stabbed him on the left side of his ribs, resulting in his death. Mukiha's wife sustained head and chest injuries while attempting to intervene.
The suspects stole a six-kilogramme cooking gas cylinder and a Sunking light from the house before fleeing. A metallic sword cover was recovered at the scene and preserved as evidence. The motive behind the attack remains unknown, and detectives are actively investigating to identify and apprehend the suspects.
