The four men were reported missing after sharing a lunch of nyama choma (roasted meat) and drinks at a local pub in Kitengela.
On the day they went missing, the men were spotted arriving at the joint where they enjoyed their meal and drinks. They soon left the club at around 3PM and headed to the parking lot where a Toyota Mark X was parked.

A police officer privy to investigations into the disappearance of the four friends intimated to a local daily that the men were on police radar over criminal activities.
