Three suspects among them a form four student from Hopewell secondary school in Barut Nakuru county have been arrested in connection to the brutal murder of a Physics teacher from the school.
The 32-year-old teacher was murdered at around 10.30 pm on Thursday moments after returning home from school where he had been supervising night preps.
Peter Omari was killed behind his house in what police believe to be a revenge mission.
Earlier in the day the teacher had confiscated a mobile phone from the arrested student.
Police believe that two other accomplices decided to way lay the teacher because in 2017 they had been caught again giving a mobile phone to another student.
The teacher’s wife is a matron at Hopewell school and had been left behind to see to it that all students slept well not knowing that attackers were waiting for her husband across the road where they live.
Vitalis Kahenda, the school director, described Omari as a dedicated teacher who was humble and focused.
He said that drug abuse and consumption of illicit brews is rampant in the area and sometimes drugs have found their way into the school .
Area Chief David Kering confirmed the incident.
Omaris’s mother Florence Kerubo said that she has lost a loving first born son.
She said that she has spent a lot of money in educating him and had high hopes in him.
The deceased's body was taken at Nakuru Level 5 hospital while the three suspects are being held at Rhonda police station.
