Kanduyi MP Wafula Wamunyinyi‘s communication director Storm Peter Ochieng has been brutally killed by unknown people.
Storm who is also a musician was found murdered on the night of Friday August 7, with the motive of his killers unknown.
He was murdered in cold blood after leaving a drinking joint in Bungoma Town where he was with the MP.
Wamunyinyi has condemned the murder, calling for police to speed up their investigation and bring the killers to the book.
His body was lying in a pool of blood with deep cuts. Wamunyinyi has also urged the police to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, saying that there were two different accounts that are contradicting.
Reports indicate that his killers were on a motorbike while other reports indicate that the killers were using a motor vehicle.
According to Wamunyinyi, Storm left him for home and was thereafter informed by a police officer that his communications aid had been injured.
Upon rushing to the scene, they found him with deep cuts on the head and hands.
“Storm said he is leaving and my PA Sebastian paid the Boda Boda guy via Mpesa and they left together. As I was heading home, I was called by a police officer who informed me that my communications officer is badly injured. I went to the scene only to find the innocent boy with deep cuts on the head and hand,” said Wamunyinyi.
According to Storm’s cousin Andrew Munyagwa, he first heard of the tragedy through Boda Boda riders who he heard saying a man had been brutally cut around the area they reside.
Wamunyinyi has blamed Storms’s death on Ford Kenya party politics where he is embroiled in protracted leadership wrangles with Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula.
The MP sent his condolences to the family and pledged to help the family in giving Storm a befitting send-off.
Before joining Wamunyinyi, Storm used to work as a media and communications officer for Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa.
He is a renowned singer who shot to the limelight through his song dubbed brikicho. His other songs include Bindu Vichenjanga, Tabia, Another try, Popo, Pambana and many more.
