Kanyigi reportedly drew a dagger and fatally wounded Olando by slashing his neck. The suspect then fled the scene with the weapon.
“In an attempt to calm the situation, Olando intervened, only for the suspect to brandish a dagger which he drew through Olando’s neck. As Olando painfully slid to his death, the suspect vanished with the murder weapon,” DCI explained.
Olando was rushed to Huruma Nursing Hospital by Good Samaritans but was pronounced dead on arrival.
The case has been reported to Huruma Police Station and is currently under investigation by Starehe sub-county detectives, who are actively seeking Kanyigi’s whereabouts.
