Crime

30 November 2021

They say that before you die, you always know when and how? Well, that seems to ring true for the late Walter Odhiambo a.k.a Walte Odhiz who was gunned down by police.

Six years before his death he posted a meme of a young man with a long metal rod prodding at angry riot policemen.

He captioned it, "1000 ways to die."

In another very recent Facebook post, Odhiz, a popular bouncer in Kisumu wrote, "The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer but what they miss."

Family and friends are crying for justice for Odhiz's death.

Odhiz was shot dead on Thursday 25, November 2021 at 3 am outside a nightclub in Kondele.

This act snuffed off the life of the young man leading to panic in the area with his family now calling for justice saying he was killed in cold blood.

Kisumu Central Sub-County Police Commander James Ng'etich said the suspect, identified as Walter Odhiambo, was part of a five-member gang that was on a robbery mission targeting a premise in Kondele.

According to the police boss, the young man refused to surrender after he was urged to do so by cops patrolling the area.
