The killers, however, were captured on CCTV surveillance inside the house but they could not be identified as they had masked their faces.

They also made away with a number of bags whose contents remain unknown.

Chetan's murder is the second reported incident in the last two days where occupants of a house were found murdered with signs of strangulation.

In Nairobi's South B Golden Gate Estate, a mother and her daughter were on Monday found in their house murdered with no leads as to the motive or suspects in the double murder.

They were both strangled with a sisal rope which was found on the body of the older woman.

Tours and Travels tycoon Tob Cohen was also found with hands and legs tied up when the DCI detectives recovered his body from a septic tank in his house.

Cohen's wife Sarah Wairimu is a suspect in the shocking murder.
