Police are investigating an incident in which senior official with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) official was Sunday killed in her house in a robbery in Utange, Mombasa County.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Officials said the deceased Aisha Akinyi Abubakar, 48 was a senior IEBC official based in Kilifi County.<\/p>\n

IEBC is yet to issue a statement over the incident.<\/p>\n

She and her son Khasim Hassan, 18 were attacked at about 3 am Sunday January 5 at their compound by two suspects, police said.<\/p>\n

The son was also seriously injured and admitted in a local hospital, police said.<\/p>\n

The gang stole electronic goods from the house before escaping.<\/p>\n

Police said they were informed by officials at the Premier Hospital that a victim of robbery with violence had died at the facility.<\/p>\n

A team visited there and established that the gang raided the home at about 3 am at Utange Mkunguni and attacked the woman and her son.<\/p>\n

One of the attackers wore a face mask.<\/p>\n

They gained access to the house by cutting the grills of kitchen window while armed with crowbar and knife.<\/p>\n

The deceased was stabbed and cut on the head above right eye while the son cut on the head.<\/p>\n

Police said immediately after the attack the gang robbed the deceased of her mobile phone, a 65 inch TV set, sound system and an iPad.<\/p>\n

This was after they had also attacked and injured the son, police said.<\/p>\n

The son was able to drive the mother to Premier Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival while the son was treated and was yet to be discharged.<\/p>\n

Police later visited the scene of the attack as part of efforts to trace the gang behind the attack.<\/p>\n

Police said they are pursuing various leads into the attack.<\/p>\n

A team is combing the area to get the gang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
