“There are many issues coming up but we are hoping to unravel the reasons. We need to know who the killers are, if they were robbers and why they picked on the student (Otieno)," Ngetich said.
He further stated that the girlfriend who was not in the house at the time of the shooting is yet to be traced.

The gunmen are said to have stormed the house at around 11 PM and asked for the whereabouts of yet another person before a confrontation ensued in which two shots were fired from a pistol.
A team of DCI officers from Ruiru visited the scene on Saturday evening and recorded statements from eye witnesses.

Worrying trend
The murder comes in the wake of a worrying trend of murders at Kenya’s higher learning institutions.
Last month, the body of a fourth-year University of Nairobi student was dumped at Globe Cinema roundabout.
Police are still investigating the incident to establish the motive and the persons involved in the murder of Peter Kahugi.
