David Mbute, a 40-year-old who operated a sawmill, was attacked at Kimende town in Lari constituency on Monday. The businessman hijacked by armed gangsters pretending to be police officers was found dead on Tuesday. He said officers did not recognise the car they described and advised them to report the incident as a kidnapping. A shopkeeper who witnessed the incident said the kidnappers arrived in a saloon car which they claimed had a mechanical problem. Lari AP commander Martin Waititu said Mbute was kidnapped at gun point and handcuffed by unknown people near Equity Bank at about 8pm.
