The family of the late Hanington Were, the 39-year-old son of former Matungu MP David Were, has alleged foul play in the murder of the son.

This came as a post-mortem examination on Tuesday revealed that he died from multiple stab wounds, contradicting earlier claims that he had been struck on the head with a blunt object.

Hanington, an employee of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) based at the Huduma Centre in Kisumu, was attacked and killed on Sunday night by unknown assailants.
