A family in Homa Bay has been thrown into mourning after a secondary school teacher was killed by robbers on his way home from school.

How Homa Bay teacher was killed

The assailants allegedly threw a spear at him while he was riding his motorbike.

The spear hit his head, causing him to fall from his motorbike, giving the robbers room to make away with it.

According to a report done by Nation, the teacher was killed in the Komenya Sublocation after leaving St. Bakhita Girls' Secondary School, where he taught mathematics and chemistry.

The police report said the teacher left the school minutes before 7pm. On his way home, he met two of his colleagues, and since he had a motorbike, he decided to drop them off at their homes first.

Upon dropping his colleagues off, he visited his friend, where he stayed until 8:30pm before deciding to head home.

It was while riding back home from his friend's place that he met the assailants.

People nearby reported that they had some commotion before they saw the teacher staggering back to his friend's house with a spear lodged behind his head.

What efforts were made to save the man?

The teacher was rushed to a private hospital, where doctors tried to stabilise him to no avail. The hospital referred him to Homa Bay County Referral Hospital, where they couldn't help him too.

The teacher was then referred to Jaramogi Oginga Hospital in Kisumu, where he was declared dead upon arrival. His body was then transferred back to Homabay Teaching and Referral Hospital, awaiting postmortem.
