Man stabbed to death in Huruma, police investigate

Police are investigating the death of a 25-year-old man who was stabbed by a mob in Huruma, Nairobi.

Immanuel Ochieng was attacked and stabbed on Thursday, July 28, 2023, when a group of youth went on the rampage in the area over the killing of a carwash dealer in a police operation.

The mob went on a rampage, attacking pedestrians and motorists indiscriminately. Ochieng was rushed to hospital, where he succumbed to neck and head injuries on Saturday, July 30, 2023.

Police are looking for the mob responsible for the attack. They have also deployed more officers to the area to try to deter further violence.

In a separate incident, a gang robbed several motorists on Outering Road on Sunday, July 31, 2023.

A group of youths barricaded the road using stones and started to rob motorists. At least five motorists were robbed of their cash and valuables during the drama. One driver was stabbed in the head as he tried to fight off the gang.

Police were called to the scene and managed to clear the road, but no arrests have been made.

Police say the gang’s action is a continuation of last week’s riots in the area. They are urging locals to report any suspicious activity to the police.

The recent violence in Huruma has left residents feeling terrorized. They are calling on authorities to address the menace and bring the perpetrators to justice.
