A family in Ndeiya village, Limuru constituency in Kiambu County is in distress after their missing sons were found dead in Nairobi.

The brothers, Johnson Karuga aged 26 years and Kevin Kimani, 24, went missing on Monday, September 5.

The two, who were staying in Kamulu, had gone to watch a football match at a club in Joska on Sunday, September 4 but did not return home.

The family attempted to contact the deceased but their phones were switched off, forcing them to report the matter to the police.

Bodies discovered in Joska

The boys' father, Joseph Kimani, told the media that the bodies of the young men were found near a bridge at Joska, a week after they went missing. The bodies of the deceased were moved to City Mortuary.

Reports indicate that Karuga and Kimani were involved in an altercation in the entertainment joint, where they were following a football match. Security guards at the club then contacted boda boda riders who trailed the duo before beating them senseless.

The brothers, unfortunately, succumbed to their injuries.

"We are asking the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to speed us the investigations and arrest persons behind the murders," he said.

According to Haki Africa human rights group, the brothers sustained injuries inflicted by a blunt object.

Speaking to the press at Tigoni Hospital mortuary where the bodies were transferred, Hussein Khalid, Haki Africa’s Executive Director, asked the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to expedite the probe and bring the perpetrators of the heinous act to book.
