Police are yet to make an arrest over an incident in which the body of a university student was found dumped on the roadside at Globe Cinema Roundabout, Nairobi.

The deceased had been strangled and hit with a blunt object in the head, a physical site analysis indicated.

A man he had been with and who the killers thought was dead, was found alive next to the body of Peter Kahugi Maina, 23.

The survivor who has been identified as James Kilonzo, 26 told police they were abducted from a popular club in Westlands in Nairobi, tortured and strangled before they were dumped there.

Police said Kilonzo seemed confused and he may have been drugged.

A team of police officers that were patrolling the area Sunday dawn was alerted of the presence of the bodies that had been dumped by a car.

Kahugi was a third-year Geospatial Engineering student at the University of Nairobi.

Police later visited the club where the two had been and interrogated staff there.
