Residents of Mwongorisi area in West Mugirango, Nyamira County are living in fear after a 65-year-old woman was raped by unknown assailants before she was killed.
The incident happened on Wednesday night.
Area assistant chief Eric Ondere confirmed the incident and said the assailants stormed Doris Kemunto's house, ordered her to strip naked, raped her several times before they strangled her to death.
"Kemunto was with her 14-year-old grand daughter when the assailants stormed the house at 11 pm and forced her to strip naked before they raped her. The assailants strangled her to death after the ordeal," said Ondere.
He said the assailants didn't harm the deceased grand daughter but, they warned her against screaming for help.
"The suspects who were 4 in number had covered their faces making it hard for the grand daughter to identify them. An alarm was raised after the suspects had escaped into darkness," he said.
The administrator assured that probe has commenced to arrest the killers.
He rasied concern over increased cases of crime in the area saying the lawbreakers won't be spared.
The deceased body was taken to Nyamira County hospital morgue.
