Unaware of what awaited them, seven bouncers left Nyando in Kisumu County for Butula in Busia to provide security as bouncers during the burial of a businessman murdered a fortnight ago never to return. 

Donned in black suits and black goggles, the seven tall and dark men arrived safely in Bumala town on Friday morning to undertake their job of guarding the hearse.
