A 44-year-old man, David Munene, has allegedly died after being severely beaten by a forest guard in Kirinyaga County. He was reportedly detained for trespassing in Mt Kenya Forest.

• Munene sustained severe head, hand, leg, and back injuries, ultimately succumbing to bleeding in the brain.
• The incident involves David Munene, his wife Alice Wanjiku, and alleged perpetrators from the Kenya Forest Service (KFS).
• The family attempted to negotiate Munene's release by offering Sh500, but their efforts failed when a bribe of Sh20,000 was demanded.
