The 35-year-old was assaulted and left to die but was rushed to the hospital. However, he died a week after he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Aga Khan Hospital in Mombasa.
“I went there and saw my husband lying unconsciously. We took him to Aga Khan Hospital where he spent a week without telling me a word until he died. To date, I do not know why he had to die. The guard know him well I wonder why they beat him?" Wokabis wife, Grace was quoted by the Nation as saying.
