Mumias Sugar Company Legal Manager was Sunday night shot dead in cold blood at his home in Matungu, Kakamega County.
The legal manager and company secretary Ronald Joseph Lubya was shot once in the head by three gunmen who were demanding documents and cash at his new Matungu home, before injuring his wife.
Western Police Commander Moses Nyakwama says a probe has been launched to get the killers and determine their motive.
“We don’t know the motive but we have a team on the ground looking for them. He died on arrival at the hospital while the wife is stable in hospital,” the police boss stated.
Lubya who was shot once in the head, execution style, had previously filed a report with the police in fear for his life.
And Lubya reportedly received a call from unknown people when he was attacked.
The thugs stole household items and his vehicle, which they used to escape.
The company remains in the throes of financial crisis despite efforts by the Government to save it from collapsing.
