KISUMU, Kenya, Aug 17 – A night guard was found killed in Railways Nyalenda estate in Kisumu Wednesday morning.
According to Godfrey Olongo, a tenant, the body of the watchman was found placed under a parked lorry at the parking lot.
Olongo stated that the guard appeared to have been hit by a blunt object by unknown thugs.
“It seems they fought before he was killed, his trouser had marks of mud, an indication of a struggle,” he said.
He noted that they contracted two guards at the estate, one stationed at the gate while one who does rounds within.
The thugs then proceeded to break into a parcel courier van of Posta that was parked next to the lorry.
