In the second incident, the 42-year-old male DCI officer who is based in Nairobi, was also attacked by the same gang as he was walking home.

Dago sub-location assistant Chief Mark Odhiambo says both the two victims suffered several visible stab wounds in their bodies, however, nothing was stolen from either of them by the assailants.
