Stephen Musyimi Musyoki’s body was found on the roadside minutes after his attack in the morning hours on February 27, 2026, police and witnesses said.
The motive of the attack was not immediately known as nothing was stolen from the victim, police said.
He had stab wounds in the abdomen. Witnesses said there was a confrontation between the deceased and the assailants before they attacked him and escaped.
He was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival, police said.
The body was moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy and investigations.
