According to a statement by the DCI, Joel Juma was attacked and murdered at 2:00am on Tuesday by a gang of three suspected criminals who reportedly escaped with his phone and other valuables.
Juma was attacked in the company of his girlfriend. They two were on their way to get revision materials from a friend who stays a few blocks away, when the gang attacked.
“...Juma later woke up and embarked on his books but at 2am, he asked her to escort him to where a classmate lived a few blocks away, to get some reference material that he needed before morning.
“It is while on their way when the thugs attacked them near hotel Lilies, demanding for money and mobile phones. Two of them descended on Juma with blows and kicks before stabbing him twice on the left side of his chest, leaving him lying on the ground in a pool of blood,” the DCI narrated.
