Police are investigating an incident where an elderly German national was found dead in a hotel toilet along River Road, Nairobi.
Edmund Leicht, 64 was found seated on the hotel toilet basin by cleaners on duty on March 17 evening.
He had failed to leave his room at Decasa Hotel to allow workers to clean it when one of them went therein to check.
It was then that she found him in the toilet and thought he was asleep.
She tried to wake him up in vain, she raised an alarm and the police came and confirmed the German was dead.
It is not clear how long he had been in the toilet, the body did not have any physical injuries at the time of its discovery.
Police said they found medicine used to control high blood pressure in his pockets as they moved the body to the mortuary pending autopsy.
This is the fourth German to die in a week in Kenya. One was killed in an accident in Maasai Mara, another was found dead in his room in Ongata Rongai while the fourth one was killed in Kitengela.
Police said the families of the men have been informed and the incidents are not related.
The German embassy is aware of the incidents and officials are following them up.
Officials said they have attended the postmortem exercises of the other bodies and efforts were being made to send the bodies back to German as investigations go on.
The most devastating incident was the one where the body of Wilko Milicinovic, 80, was found in a pool of blood by his worker in Kitengela.
Police who attended the scene discovered that the killers had ransacked his house and stole his laptop.
The left eye of the foreigner was gouged out and he had deep head cuts and his hands and legs were tied with a rope.
The deceased resided alone and was assisted by a worker who reports to work at 8 am and leaves by 5 pm.
His son and daughter-in-law live in a separate house within the same compound. Police are investigating the incident.
