“We are investigating to establish the motive and also to establish if it was robbery or murder; he didn’t have any identification on him,” he stated.
Human Rights Defender Isaiah Biwott regretted that the incident took place within the town, exposing rising insecurity cases.
He claimed that the man was killed around 9 pm, as per the security cameras within where the incident occurred.
“How can something like that happen in town? It's either laxity by security officers or the ongoing trend of drugs and upcoming gangs, which have been terrorising residents,” he added.
