A 30-year-old man was killed in a bizarre attack in Upper Kotetni village in Korando area of Kisumu West Sub-County on Thursday night.
The victim, identified as Silas Onyango Mogo was seated on the co-driver`s seat as they drove home with his wife at around 8.00 pm, when two attackers riding on a motor-cycle, suddenly blocked their vehicle and pounced on him with knives.
Preliminary reports indicated that the two men later dragged him out the car and started stabbing him ferociously, before disappearing into the darkness, however, nothing was stolen from the couple, raising queries over the motive of the attack.
