Egerton University engineering student found killed

A fifth-year student at Egerton University main campus in Njoro has been found killed under unclear circumstances.

David Ongeri, an electrical and control engineering student was found dead in his rental house at Egerton Gate estate this evening.

Njoro sub-county Police Commander Mr Mohammed Huka has said the body was discovered by his neighbour who went to check on him after he failed to turn up.

"It is sad to learn of the death of one of the students killed for no clear reasons," Huka has said.

The body had a deep cut on the neck, face, head and hands.

It has been picked by police to Egerton University morgue for postmortem.

The institution student leader Henry Mulyungi has asked the police to commence Investigations and bring assailants to book.

Ongeri had completed his project and was expected to proceed on industrial attachment.

"We are requesting police to bring to book criminals behind the murder," says Mulyungi.
