On Wednesday a 60-year-old watchman was hacked to death by thugs after they broke into a shop in Bungoma.
"He was cut in the neck with a sharp object. The thieves carried crates of plastic-bottle sodas in a vehicle," said Bungoma South OCPD David Kirui as reported by The Star.
According to residents in the area, the thugs managed to steal Sh1,800 after breaking into a store in the early hours of the morning. The store is reportedly under the ownership of Bwake MCA Rosemary Khisa.
OCPD Kuria believes that the thugs chose to kill the watchman in order to hide their identities.
The police are currently in pursuit of the accused but have not caught anyone so far.
Kuria has called on members of the community to be vigilant and provide them with any leads that could lead to the capture of the thugs
