A serving police corporal attached to the General Service Unit (GSU) was murdered by two masked attackers who raided his home in Bondo, Siaya County, in the early hours of Monday.

The deceased, identified as Cpl Henry Okello Omondi Ojudi, 44, was attacked at his home in Got Nyapong Village at about 2:30 am.

He was attached to the GSU headquarters in Nairobi.

Police said they were alerted at about 4:30 am, prompting a team of officers to visit the scene.

Preliminary investigations established that the two attackers, who had their faces covered and were armed with a panga and a sword, broke into the house and accessed the bedroom where Ojudi was sleeping with his wife.

The assailants reportedly stabbed him twice in the chest before dragging him outside the house, where they further cut him on the head and shoulders.

His wife was not injured during the attack.

The attackers reportedly fled into the darkness immediately after the assault.

Police said nothing was stolen from the house and the motive for the attack remained unknown.

The scene was processed and documented before the officer’s body was moved to Bondo Subcounty Hospital mortuary pending a postmortem examination.

Detectives have launched investigations to identify the attackers and establish the motive behind the killing.

Preliminary investigations established that Njeru had left Kiritiri Market at about 8 pm on Sunday accompanied by his second wife, on his motorcycle.

The couple reportedly stopped at the scene after Njeru intended to meet a person known to him before they proceeded to their home in Kerwa Village, Gichiche.

According to his wife, one man emerged from a thicket, and Njeru walked about 10 metres away from her to speak to him.

A second man later joined them, after which she heard the men exchanging words in low tones.

She reportedly moved closer to find out what was happening but, before she could reach them, one of the men disappeared into the darkness.

The second man allegedly took Njeru’s motorcycle and fled, leaving him lying on the ground with deep cut wounds.

Police established that the deceased had suffered two visible deep cuts across the face, on the left eye and nose area.

Crime Scene Investigation officers photographed and documented the scene before the body was moved to Embu Level 5 Hospital mortuary pending a postmortem examination.

Police have launched investigations to establish the motive of the killing, identify the two suspects and trace the stolen motorcycle.
