0

A robbery attempt by two suspects turned disastrous after neighbours responding to a distress call at a village in Lugari, Kakamega, are believed to have attacked one of the suspects leaving him with injuries that later claimed his life.

Earlier, in a bid to ensure that they executed their mission unhindered, the suspects are believed to have first poisoned a dog belonging to Mirriam Miramboga, in whose compound they had planned to stage the robbery.

With the dog safely out of their way, the suspects emerged from their hideout a few minutes past 1am & tiptoed to Miramboga’s compound, braving the biting cold to carry out their mission.
