A Nakuru county government worker died Wednesday night after thugs attacked him at his house in Tayari, Molo.
The thugs forced their way in and slashed the man and his son using a machete and left without stealing anything.
The two were rushed at St Joseph Missionary Hospital in Molo where the man succumbed.
The other victim is still receiving treatment. The night attack left Tayari village in a somber mood as residents called on the police to beef up security.
“This is not the first time they have attacked this man. It was the third time and you see they have killed him. We will be forced to sell our houses and run away from this place,” a resident said.
The deceased was a county government worker in the department of water in Molo.
Molo OCS John Manyara said investigations into the brutal attack have been launched.
“All security forces have been mobilized and those behind this heinous act will be arrested to face the full force of law,” Manyara said.
