A lead creative designer attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) died on Saturday evening, October 22, in a hit and run accident at Marurui estate in Kiambu County.
According to a statement posted on DCI's Twitter page on Sunday, Boniface Muganda was headed home on his motorbike when a speeding motorist hit his bike and took off.
Well-wishers rushed Muganga to Kenyatta University Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
"According to first responders, Muganda, who was groaning in pain, breathed his last at the hospital's gate, just before doctors could attend to him," said DCI.
The investigative body has since mourned Muganda as a hardworking, self-driven and dedicated officer who performed his duties well.
"He was a gifted Communications Officer whose skills in photography, videography and graphics design propelled him to head the creative design desk at the DCI's Communication's unit," said DCI.
Muganda previously served at the forensic photographic and acoustics unit where he was the creative artist behind the latest edition of the DCI Magazine.
He also participated in the coverage of Mashujaa Day celebrations at Uhuru Gardens on October 20, 2022, just two days before he met his death.
Detectives have since launched investigations into the hit and run incident.
"It is only a matter of time before detectives catch up with the driver who is on the run," said DCI.
