Kin of brutally murdered Kiambu family have requested for security after two thugs allegedly tried to steal money meant for burial.
Speaking to Kameme TV, Allan Warunge, the brother to the late Nicholas Njoroge Warunge, said he received word that two men were seen trying to get into the family home.
“I was alerted by the security guards at around 12:30 at night that there two people who wanted to open the gate, both on the left and the right side. I called the chief immediately and he called the OCPD. They acted with speed,” Allan told the vernacular station.
He added: “We cannot sleep because we keep feeling like we will be attacked. The security guards fear that there were more than two people who came to the house.”
