A 52 year old man was on Wednesday morning found lying dead just a few steps from his house in Kabete.

The man, who is well known in the area and owns a butchery in Kawangware, was found next to two huge building stones that police believe were to kill him.

According to police, the deceased head had been smashed and the stones found on the scene had blood stains.

His body was taken to Chiromo Mortuary for postmortem.
