“A report was made at the police station of a man who had been assaulted by four security guards and two suspects have been arrested,” stated Ipara.

He further stated that the two would be taken to court today to face murder charges.

Police are still looking for the other two guards who are still on the run.

Grace Ndung’u, the wife of the deceased revealed that she received a call from Jocham Hospital that Sunday morning informing her that her husband was admitted and had serious injuries.

“I was told that my husband had had an accident and was asked if I could make it to the hospital in 20 minutes.

"On arrival, I saw my husband’s car and there was no sign that it had been involved in an accident.

“My husband could not speak and I found him being stitched up. He was in pain,” Ndung'u was quoted by the Standard.

She transferred Kamau to Aga Khan Hospital, where he was taken to the intensive care unit but died on January 14.
