Thika town MP Alice Ng’ang’a’s personal bodyguard is dead. Mr Eliud Muchiri Gathangira died in a grisly road accident along the busy Thika superhighway opposite Juja Police Station on Sunday morning.

An eye witness told the Nation that Mr Muchiri was speeding when he came upon an earlier accident involving a pick up loaded with avocados and was unable to stop.

“The pickup had littered the road with avocados, Mr Muchiri hadn’t seen them and he drove over them making his  car skid and veer off the road and land into a ditch,” a source said.

NORMAL ACCIDENT

Muchiri was pronounced dead on the spot and police sources have termed it as a normal accident.

His body was taken to General Kago Funeral Home by colleagues who also confirmed that he was not drunk when the accident happened.

“We are treating this as a normal accident. His body is lying at General Kago but we shall transfer it to another mortuary with the permission of the family,” said one his colleagues.
