On September 26, 2019, a gruesome discovery was made at the home of Kenyan cement tycoon Chetan Vyas in Kericho County.
According to Kericho Deputy Police Commander Paul Nasio, Vyas's lifeless body was found inside his bedroom at his home located within the Rai Cement factory premises in Sigowet, Kericho County.
Nasio confirmed that the killers gained access to the house through the roof, lifting tiles from above to enter through the kitchen store before proceeding to the bedroom where Vyas was sleeping.
Further investigation revealed that Vyas's hands and legs were knotted with a rope, which was also tied around his neck.
Despite the suspects disconnecting the CCTV camera outside the house, their images were captured by the camera inside, but their faces were obscured by masks.
The criminals made off with some bags, the contents of which remain unknown.
Police have launched an investigation into the killing of the businessman, and his body was taken to the Kisumu County Hospital mortuary.
