He was found lying in a pool of blood while clutching on a pair of scissors

Mr Dominic Mugo, a 55-year-old man in Embu died after chopping off his manhood in Ngerwe village, Kibugu area, Embu County.

The deceased, who is a farmer severed his manhood with a pair of scissors early Monday morning and died due to excessive bleeding as he was being rushed to hospital.

Residents of the village said they heard loud cries coming from the deceased’s home only to find him unconscious, lying in a pool of blood while clutching on a pair of scissors in a report carried by Nairobi News.

Dead on arrival

Jeremiah Tumo, the Embu North Deputy County Commissioner said the villagers quickly summoned a car to rush Mr Mugo to the Embu Level Five hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

He said they suspect the man, who was a habitual bhang smoker, did the shocking act due to a mental problem associated with the drug use.

Mr Mugo’s body has since been moved to Gakwegori Mortuary. The administrator said police have already launched investigations into the man’s death.

Marijuana

Mr Tumo said they are working with members of community policing and the Nyumba Kumi initiative to weed out bhang peddlers from the area where drug abuse is deeply entrenched.

He further revealed that a suspected drug peddler is being probed after he was found to have been in constant phone communication with a student of a school which was hit by student unrest last month.
