Main Story:
Tragedy in Salgaa
In the semi-rural village of Muthiga in Salgaa Sub-County, Nakuru, a respected elderly couple failed to attend their regular Sunday church service prompting neighbours to check on them. Upon entering their home, they discovered the man lying on his bed and his wife deceased on a couch in the sitting room. The husband was aged 90, the wife 63.
No Signs of Robbery, Motive Unclear
Inspecting officers noted that the house showed no signs of forced entry and nothing appeared to be missing an observation that has left locals puzzled whether this was a targeted attack rather than a burglary. Police confirmed both victims sustained multiple injuries consistent with a violent assault.
Police Launch Investigation Amid Tense Community
The National Police Service (NPS) in Nakuru has opened a full investigation, securing the scene and appealing for any information from residents who might have seen unusual activity around the home in the hours before the discovery. With older people in isolated settings now feeling vulnerable, local leaders are calling for increased community vigilance and neighbourly checks.
A Broader Concern
This incident has stirred wider fears within the region: if respected seniors living quietly in rural homes aren’t safe, what does that say about overall security? The tragedy has ignited conversations about the need for better protection and support for vulnerable residents.
