Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) officers in Malindi have launched investigations into the murder of a 65-year-old village elder in Mkondoni sub-location, Kilifi County.

Amos Luganje's body was discovered near a thicket, lying in a pool of blood, with a bow and a blood-stained arrow found beside him. He had left home pushing a wheelbarrow to his farm at around 11 am before he met his death.

According to a police report, the deceased was attacked by an unknown person on his way to his farm about a kilometre from his home on suspicion that he was having an affair with a married woman.

The arrow entered through the back and penetrated the chest, remaining lodged in the deceased’s body.
