A 35-year-old Kenyan journalist who worked at Standard Media group has been murdered by unknown assailants.
Moses Okiror Omusolo’s lifeless body was found dumped along the busy Kang’undo Road in Nairobi on Thursday morning, December 22, 2022.
It remains unclear what led to the death of the media personality, who has also penned articles for Nation Media Group.
Mr Omusulo was engaged, and planning for a wedding that would have taken place in February 2023.
He was a graduate of Masinde Muliro University class of 2013.
Police say that a black backpack was recovered next to his body and had personal documents that assisted the police to identify him.
