Nicholas and Erick Mutua then retired to the servant’s quarters to sleep after ensuring that the door leading to their quarters was securely locked. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the following day, the two boys woke up at 4.30 a.m. in order to do their revision in the dining room as was their routine. However, when Nicholas, the son of the deceased, knocked the door to the main house, he received no response from his father. He decided to go back to his room and wait until the father woke up. At about 8.00 a.m., the son, who found it unusual for his father to sleep up to that particular time, decided to try another door leading to the main gate, but was surprised to find the main door and their gate wide open. When he entered the main house, he found a trail of blood and his father’s body lying near the fire place. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Nicholas immediately called his mother, Margret Kimeli, who had travelled up country to their Lessos Farm in Nandi. She informed the police who immediately visited the scene and commenced investigations. The deceased had three stab wounds and one gunshot wound on the left upper arm. Police also recovered one spent cartridge and one live ammunition both of 9 mm caliber, and a blood stained knife. From the bedroom of the deceased, one pistol of a vector Serial No.BDH091, with ten rounds of ammunition and five rounds of .38 special were also recovered. The firearm was later confirmed as belonging to the deceased, who was a holder of civilian firearm licence No.2617. The police also discovered that only one mobile phone belonging to the deceased was stolen. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the body was later moved to Lee Funeral Home, where a postmortem was later performed. The pathologist was of the opinion that the deceased died due to severe chest and abdominal injuries due to a single gunshot. Investigations are still ongoing, and so far the following witnesses have recorded statements:"
