Unknown gunmen on Thursday night shot dead a businessman in Chebukwabi village, Kimilili Constituency in Bungoma County.

Mr Robert Barasa, a known campaigner for Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka, was shot dead by the armed men, who invaded his home.

The 56-year-old father of seven was killed when he confronted the assailants, who had forcefully entered his home through the window.
