An officer from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is among two people who were stabbed to death by suspected criminals in Kisumu County.

The two instances occurred at different sites in Riat at about 11 p.m. when the duo were confronted on their way home.

The other victim is a 20-year-old guy who was ambushed by a gang of four men on a motorbike, who stabbed him multiple times before being pronounced dead at JOOTRH.

 A 42-year-old male DCI officer working in Nairobi is believed to have been attacked by the same group while walking home.

Dago sub-location assistant Chief Mark Odhiambo said both victims had multiple apparent stab wounds on their bodies, but the intruders stole nothing from either of them.

DCI police in Kisumu West sub-county are already probing the case because the four suspects are still at large.
