A 35-year-old man, Nicasio Ngugi, is dead following a brutal attack on the night of May 31, 2026, in Murang’a County, sparking a murder investigation by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

• Ngugi arrived home around 12 hours after leaving a chang’aa den, severely injured and later pronounced dead at Maragua Level Four Hospital.
• The DCI is exploring motives including robbery, a botched deal, targeted killing, a love triangle, or a random attack.
• A witness claims to have overheard a conversation involving a demand of Sh2,000 and threats of an attack, potentially linking to Ngugi's death.
