Tragedy struck in Thika town on Tuesday night when gangsters shot and killed Emmanuel Weyusie, a teacher and brother of KTN news anchor Mary Kilobi.
According to reports, the armed thugs ordered the apartment's guards to lie down before they gained access to Weyusie's rented apartment at ACK Apartments in Thika town.
They also robbed four passengers in a car of their money and mobile phones.
Efforts to save Weyusie's life by taking him to the Thika Teaching and Referral Hospital were unsuccessful, and he succumbed to his injuries.
On October 9th, Kilobi eulogized her deceased brother in an emotional post on Facebook, saying: "9th October it is! Haki I can't believe this hot brother of mine Emmanuel Weyusia has gone to be with the Lord. Marsh we've lost you to some cruel people who shot you. Marsh, you will forever be my Big brother our very protective bro, My Mamas 1st Born. How do I say RIP. God, it may not be well with me now because of how I feel but I still hold onto you for comfort. Even though you have allowed this pain to come my way, You are still my God,"
