The two brothers and their two cousins had gone to visit a relative in Kitengela for a housewarming party and to celebrate the birthday of one of them.
Unbeknown to them was that it would be the final journey for Fred Mureithi, 30, his younger brother Victor Mwangi who was celebrating his 25th birthday, and their two cousins Mike George, 29, and Nicholas Musa, 28.
At around 6 pm, the two brothers left to look for a place they could buy chicken in Kisaju but a stop near a riverbank at Enkamulyat area, some 14km from Kitengela town, was where death lay in wait.
Residents who saw motorbikes parked by the riverbank thought the owners were out to steal their cattle.
They raised an alarm and speared the four to death.
This they did without listening to the young men's plea.
Close friends said the four had arrived in Kitengela in three motorcycles.
Upon their arrival, the four went to George's sister's newly built house where they were hosted.
A close friend of the four, Francis Ndegwa told the Star the four agreed to have a chicken for supper and that is when they went out on their three motorbikes to look for the chicken.
