The body of Edward was found lying dead near his garage with deep cuts on his head while his hands and legs were tied with binding wire.
Masaba North Deputy Police Commander Robert Ndambiri stated that the duo is believed to have been tortured before being murdered.

We think they died as a result of excessive bleeding.”
Two employees among them a maid and a farm worker for questioning over the murder.
Detectives are investigating to unearth the killers and the motive behind the killings. The bodies were moved to Kisii Referral Hospital awaiting a postmortem.
