Juma was a football fanatic and an ardent fan of Harambee Stars and AFC Leopards.
His wife disclosed that the deceased had expressed fear for his life due to some land conflict.
“He told me he had issues over land in the area, and in case of his death, I should tell the authorities that it was because of a land dispute.”
A nephew to the deceased who is believed to be directly connected to the murder is currently in police custody.
