Detectives are investigating the death of a Zimbabwean national whose body was found in a hotel room in Nairobi.
The body of Albert Mhondoro, 44, was found in his room at the Radisson Hotel in Westlands.
That was after a friend was concerned and went to check on him on Thursday morning, after failing to reach him on the phone.
Police said the hotel management also tried to reach Mhondoro through the room phone but it was not picked up.
This prompted the security to check the room and upon opening, found him lying facing down and unresponsive.
Mhondoro had worked with Cadeo East Africa Limited as a sales manager and had been staying at the hotel.
The cause of the death is yet to be established and the body was moved to the mortuary pending postmortem, police said.
In Kangemi, a mob stoned a bodaboda rider who was accused of snatching a mobile phone from a pedestrian.
The Thursday incident happened at about 6am along Waiyaki Way, witnesses and police said.
The mob also set the motorcycle on fire.
Police got to the scene found the rider already dead and the motorcycle burnt.
Elsewhere in Nyeri, detectives are investigating the discovery of a decomposed man's body on a napier grass farm.
A man who was collecting trash said he found a skull at the scene before he alerted locals, who found the rest of the body parts.
Police suspect the man had died a while ago and efforts to establish the cause of death and his identity are ongoing.
The remains were collected and moved to Nyeri Provincial General Hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem.
