Murdered Standard journalist was to wed in 2023

Kenyans are still struggling to come to terms with the demise of Standard Group journalist Moses Okiror Omusolo, 35.

His lifeless body was on Thursday morning found in a ditch with a deep cut on the head.

It has now emerged that he had been given permission to prepare for his wedding which was set to happen in February 2023.

He was not at work at the time of his death.

Police said they suspect he was killed elsewhere and the body dumped at the site.

Locals reported to police there was a body lying on the roadside opposite Superloaf Company.

Police said they visited the scene and established Omusolo had a deep cut on the right side of the head with oozing blood.

A black backpack recovered next to the body had personal documents, which identified him.

Police said they are yet to know the motive of the murder and possible killers.

Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei said the body was moved to the mortuary pending autopsy as part of the probe.

“A body was discovered on the roadside with a head injury and was found with documents which identified him. We are investigating,” said Bungei.

Omusolo had been living in Umoja area, which is not far from the scene where the body was found.
