Seven hotel workers have been arrested in connection with the murder of a fourth year student of Tom Mboya University in Homa Bay County.


The male student died after allegedly being assaulted by the workers of Dalawa Hotel in Homa Bay Town.

According to the Chief of Arujo location Bob Lang’o, the student seemed to have developed mental health issues prior to the incident.

The student first shocked residents when he removed his clothes in the central business district of Homa Bay Town on Saturday afternoon. He moved into Al-Maiza Supermarket at Sofia Estate where he picked a packet of blue band and left with it without paying.

 “Residents were shocked to see the student removing his clothes in the CBD of Homa Bay Town. He discarded his clothes and began walking naked, carrying a laptop before going into the supermarket,” Lang’o said.
