A suspected robber met his death after attacking one of his victims at his home in the wee morning hours of Sunday.
The robber identified as Evans Atuya alongside two of his accomplices attacked Godwin Wanyama at his home in Muguga, Kabete sub county when the incident occurred.
According to a report by the Directorate of Criminal investigations, The three thugs stormed Wanyama’s house by knocking his door to the ground using a big rock.
“The three had stormed into Wanyama’s house at 2am by knocking his door to the ground using a huge rock, rudely awakening him from his slumber,” the report read.
A courageous Wanyama engaged the thugs in a fight which saw the 35-year old robber lose his life.
“A scuffle immediately ensued as the thugs tried to subdue their victim. But a tactful Wanyama went straight for Atuya’s hand and dispossessed him of the knife. Like a lioness whose cubs were under attack, he furiously went for the suspect’s neck and stabbed him as his accomplices took flight!” the report further read.
The suspected robber tried to ran away after receiving injuries but managed only a few steps from Wanyama’s house before he fell down and succumbed to the injuries caused by his own weapon.
Neighbors rushed to the scene following the commotion that had interrupted their sleep only to find that Wanyama had already defeated the robber.
Officers who visited the scene confirmed that Wanyama’s house had been broken into.
“The officer commanding Muguga police station led a contingent of officers to the scene and confirmed that indeed Wanyama’s house had been broken into. Only door hinges and a few nails were still hanging loosely on the door frame, as testament that there once stood a door to Wanyama’s house,” DCI said.
Crime scene gathered evidence and sufficient clues on the identity of the other suspects who are still at large.
“Detectives would however wish to advise victims of attacks from armed thugs to where possible, avoid a confrontation that may lead to their lives being lost,” DCI stated.
