Police are investigating an incident where a security guard was found murdered on Monday morning outside a supermarket in Tala market, Machakos County.

Confirming the incidence, Machakos County DCI boss Benedict Kigen decried the increase in insecurity in the growing town promising no stone will be left unturned until the culprits are brought to book.
