Le fils de l'ancien député de Matungu tué lors d'une attaque à Kisumu

Hanington Were, fils de l'ancien député de Matungu David Were, a été mortellement poignardé à Kisumu tôt le 24 mai. Cet incident a ravivé les inquiétudes concernant l'insécurité croissante dans la région.

Hanington Were a été pris en embuscade peu après minuit le 24 mai alors qu'il sortait de chez lui avec un ami dans le quartier Robert Owuko Estate, à Kisumu. Deux hommes à moto l'ont attaqué, lui infligeant des blessures mortelles par arme blanche dans le dos. Il a été transporté à l'hôpital universitaire Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, où son décès a été constaté.

David Were a déclaré que son fils est arrivé à l'hôpital vers 20 heures et qu'il avait déjà succombé à ses blessures. La police a ouvert une enquête et recherche activement les deux suspects.

Les habitants de la zone ont pointé du doigt les conducteurs de boda boda, les accusant de faciliter les activités des gangs criminels, et ont souligné que le manque d'éclairage public favorise ce type d'agressions. Ils appellent le gouvernement du comté de Kisumu et les forces de l'ordre à renforcer les mesures de sécurité.
