A 40-year-old farmhand was found murdered in Kaseveni Village, Kaseve Sub-Location, Machakos County, following an alleged attack by a person believed to have been known to him.
The deceased, identified as Reuben Sitiombole, was employed as a farmhand in the area.
According to police, Sitiombole left for a nearby shopping centre at around 7pm on December 8, 2026.
However, while returning home, he reportedly encountered a person believed to have been known to him, and the two engaged in a disagreement that escalated into a violent confrontation.
His motionless body was later discovered lying in a pool of blood, with deep cuts on his head.
A wooden rod and a stone bearing traces of blood were found beside the body and are suspected to have been used in the attack.
Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) personnel processed and documented the scene before the body was moved to Machakos Level Five Hospital mortuary, where it is being preserved pending a postmortem examination.
The suspect remains at large as police pursue efforts to arrest him.
And police in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County, have launched investigations after an unidentified man was found dead with a stab wound near the entrance of Kitale Bus Park.
The body was discovered on Sunday night, November 8, 2026, after a street boy alerted police that he had spotted a man lying motionless at the entrance to the bus park.
According to police, a team visited the scene and established that the deceased had sustained a single stab wound on the left side of his rib cage.
The injury was severe, with part of his intestines protruding.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the man may have been stabbed at a different location before walking to the bus park, where he eventually collapsed and died.
Investigators noted that there were no visible traces of blood on his clothes, raising the possibility that the attack occurred elsewhere.
The scene was processed and documented before the body was moved to Kitale District Hospital mortuary for preservation and a postmortem examination.
