The 18-year-old’s guardian from Seychelles who’s been paying their rent and occasionally stayed with them at Hse no. 11 plot 1450 of the Umoja Zone 8 houses had also attempted calls that were not answered.

This triggered the grandfather to show up at his kin’s door, only to be met by a foul smell emanating from the inside of a locked door. The door had been locked from outside using a padlock. Amid despondency and prayer that the worst had not happened to his grandson, the grandfather alerted Buruburu police,118 who arrived immediately and gained entry.

Just then, a peep at the bedroom sighted a second body of the grandson, sprawled at the floor and the neck tied with an auxiliary cable.
