FATAL Road Rage: On August 2, 2026, a 30-year-old Kenyan man, Kennedy Kibet Ng'eno was travelling with his family and friends from Kericho County.
A taxi driver hit their car from behind near the Nyayo National Stadium along Mombasa Road in Nairobi. The assailant, Emmanuel Githua, became aggressive, smashed their windscreen, and confronted them.
During the heated argument, the taxi driver retrieved a knife from his vehicle, fatally stabbed Ng'eno, injured another individual, and fled the scene.
Ng'eno was rushed to Mbagathi Hospital and later transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital, where he was tragically pronounced dead.π
An autopsy conducted at Kenyatta National Hospital confirmed that Kennedy Kibet Ng'eno died from a fatal injury to the chest. Official reports identified the cause of death as a chest injury sustained during the altercation. The other individual present during the confrontation also sustained non-fatal injuries but survived.

Following a manhunt launched that same day, Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) homicide investigators today, August 4, 2026, successfully tracked down and arrested the prime suspect, an online taxi driver named Emmanuel Githua.
