The Vice-chairman of Kenya Primary School Head teachers Association (KEPSHA) Laikipia County was brutally murdered on Wednesday night by armed robbers at Mathagiro area on his way home after he had closed his bar.
Josephat Maina who was also the head teacher of Ngare Ndare Primary School was walking in the rain at around 10pm when he encountered two motorcyclists who offered him a lift.
The father of three and resident of Muchuiri Village denied their offer and forged ahead with his journey as they closely followed and monitored his steps. They later attacked and mercilessly rendered 10 cuts of pangas on his head as blood oozed profusely.
Two Good Samaritans found him lying helplessly as he yelled out in pain that the attackers were from Muchuiri Village. They alerted the community police who rushed him to the hospital.
According to Nanyuki Hospital’s medical superintendent David Njoroge the man died as he was being ferried to the hospital.
