DCI mourns the untimely death of detective BONIFACE MUGANDA who died along the northern by-pass – Reveal his body had no visible injuries.

 

Sunday, October 23, 2022 – The Directorate of Criminal Investigations is mourning the death of the Directorate’s lead creative designer Boniface Muganda, who was hit by a speeding motorist last night along the northern by-bass at Marurui, near Ashaki club. 

Muganda who is attached to the Corporate Communications & Public Affairs Unit was headed home on his motorbike when a speeding motorist hit his bike and took off, leaving the officer sprawled on the tarmac metres away from his bike. 

According to first responders, who rushed the detective to Kenyatta University hospital following the 9:40 pm incident, Muganda who was groaning in pain breathed his last at the hospital’s gate, just before doctors could attend to him. He was pronounced dead on arrival. 

News of Muganda’s demise spread across the closely knit DCI family fast, with detectives from across all ranks who could not come to terms with the loss rushing to K.U hospital last night, hoping to find him alive. But his cold body which did not have any visible injuries, lay in a bed in the emergency area lifeless. 

Muganda was a hardworking, self-driven and dedicated officer who performed his duties outstandingly and got along well with colleagues from across all cadres. 

He was a gifted Communications Officer whose skills in photography, videography and graphics design propelled him to head the creative design desk at the DCI’s Comms unit. 

The detective who has previously served at the forensic photographic and acoustics unit was the creative artist behind the latest edition of the DCI Magazine among other assignments including the coverage of last Thursday’s Mashujaa day celebrations at Uhuru gardens. 

The cruel hand of death has robbed the Directorate a dedicated and gifted officer whose services will be greatly missed especially by his colleagues at the Corporate Communications & Public Affairs Unit. 

Investigations into the accident have already begun and it is only a matter of time before detectives catch up with the driver who is on the run. Meanwhile, we appeal to all motorists to be mindful and courteous to other road users to avoid such accidents. 

May Muganda’s soul rest in eternal peace.
