MURDER: 2 Men Found Dead In Athi River, Bodies Had Deep Panga Cuts
The deaths of two men, whose remains were discovered thrown off Mombasa Road in Athi River, Machakos County, remain a mystery.
A third victim with significant cuts is battling for his life in the hospital, according to authorities.
According to authorities and locals, the bodies had significant panga cuts and appeared to have been slain elsewhere and placed at the scene.
According to authorities, the motivation for the act is unknown, and no arrests have been made thus far.
Pedestrians said that the men’s bodies were lying near a petrol station, with serious slashes.
Police responded to the scene and discovered that one of the victims lacked proper identification.
The second victim was named as Robert Irungu Makeri, 61. Samuel Njoroge, the injured guy, was 64 years old.
The victims suffered serious cuts, and it is unclear where and why they were attacked.
The deceased were transferred to the mortuary, while the injured were taken to the hospital for an autopsy and probe, respectively.
Police said they are waiting for the injured man to heal before grilling him to find out what happened.
It is thought that the victims were attacked elsewhere, transferred, and then dumped on the spot.
Police said they are analyzing surveillance cameras on adjacent structures and highways as part of their efforts to identify the killers.
