The late Nairobi Hospital Acting Finance Manager Eric Maigo was Friday buried at his parents' home in Kisii even as his family said their son had a premonition of his death.

Maigo's body was on September 15, 2023, discovered in a pool of blood in his bedroom bearing 25 stab wounds. Two kitchen knives preserved as evidence were recovered from the scene.

A 16-year-old suspect was on Wednesday arraigned before Magistrate Zainabu Abdul at the Milimani Law Courts on a miscellaneous application indicating that police needed to conduct mental and age assessments on the suspect as required before one faces murder charges.
