2026 - A senior National Intelligence Service (NIS) officer has been found
dead at his official residence in Nyamira town.
Police identified the deceased as 56‑year‑old David Kipkoech
Kosgey, who served as the head of County Intelligence Coordination.
His lifeless body was discovered inside his locked residence
on Friday, June 5th, after colleagues raised an alarm when he failed
to travel to Nairobi for official duty.
Preliminary reports suggest possible signs of a struggle
before his death.
Officers noted blood stains at the scene, believed to have
resulted from vomiting blood, though investigators confirmed there were no
visible external injuries.
Nyamira County Commissioner, Benson Leparimorijo, confirmed
the incident, stating that junior officers were forced to break down the door
after repeated attempts to reach him failed.
“The house was completely locked from inside, and suspicion
grew when he could not be contacted,” Leparimorijo said.
Kosgey’s body was transferred to Nyamira Level 5 Hospital
mortuary, where a postmortem examination will determine the actual cause of
death.
Detectives have since cordoned off the residence as a crime
scene, intensifying investigations.
