The body of journalist Johnson Nyakundi, was found decomposing on Tuesday in his house in Kisii County.
Nyakundi’s body was discovered after neighbours complained of the foul smell emanating from his house.
He had worked as a cameraman for Newstar TV, Mwanyagetinge TV and Voice of Victory TV stations which air in Kisii Town.
Job Ongaga, who worked with Nyakundi at Voice of Victory, stated, "We are yet to know what caused his death. A neighbour was alarmed by a stench from his house and after consulting the landlord and others, they decided to break in.
He added “ They found his body on the bed. When we peeped in through the window, we saw a lot of blood on his bed."
Nyakundi’s brother Douglas Moseti said an autopsy would be carried out to determine the cause of death.
“We will determine our next step after the postmortem this week. We will then move his body from Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary where it was taken by police,” commented Moseti.
Nyakundi who was popularly known as Embata was last seen at an end of year party at Blue Nile Hotel on December 23, 2018.
The journalist was the first born in a family of seven and had lived alone since separating from his wife about four years ago.
His friends and colleagues pointed to a long marital dispute with the woman who worked with the Teacher’s Service Commission.
