A police officer assigned to the Recce Squad was killed after being seriously injured in an attack by armed thugs in Nakuru county’s Mazembe area.
A police report released on Sunday stated that Harrison Onywonki was with his two brothers, Hezron Onwonga and Morara Onwonga when they were attacked by a group of about five armed suspects.
The three brothers were returning home from a family meeting in Nakuru City Centre when they were met with rungus and machetes in a dark corridor.
The three brothers were left with multiple bodily injuries after a fight with the suspects who had stolen their phones, according to the police report.
Police officers on patrol rushed them to the Nakuru Provincial General Hospital (PGH), but Onywonki died from his injuries while receiving treatment.
“Kenya Police Service officers and DCI officers visited the scene under the command of SCPC Nakuru West and Sccio Nakuru West,” the police report says.
“The other two brothers were treated and discharged in fair condition.”
