Nairobi police are pursuing suspects who allegedly lured a delivery rider to his death using a fabricated smartphone order at South B's Meridian Apartments. Investigators discovered 30-year-old Antony Otieno's remains beneath a bed inside unit 72 after the victim arrived to hand over an iPhone 17 Pro Max purchased through WhatsApp correspondence.
The assailants restrained their target with rope and fabric before inflicting fatal head injuries with a metal rod, leaving behind the device and the victim's motorcycle outside the building. Two men had secured the short-term rental earlier that morning by providing partial payment to property manager Charity Muthoni Michoki, who later noticed blood stains that led to the grisly find.
Authorities have requested cellular carrier records for numbers 0108577041 and 0783041879 as they work to identify the perpetrators of the violent robbery scheme.
