In yet another similar incident that happened in 2018, a businessman was found dead in his car near Matuu town, Embu County on a feeder road.
The body had been laid out on the backseat, with the hands tied to the driver’s seat using a bandage.
“He was a very good man, very jovial, very outgoing,” his landlord noted.
