British golfer John Middleton was found brutally murdered at his Utange residence in Mombasa.
Kisauni Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) Jamleck Mbuba confirmed to the press that the body of the deceased was discovered on Saturday morning in a bathtub.
According to the police, his body was discovered by a cleaner who went there in the morning to do her usual cleaning and took the initiative to raise the alarm.
Upon the discovery, the cleaner contacted the deceased’s girlfriend who resides in Mtwapa who rushed to the scene and later reported the matter to the police promptly.

“The body had serious cut wounds on the hands. There were little signs of struggle at the murder scene,” DCC Mbumba explained.
So far, no one has been arrested but the police are working to trace the perpetrators behind the gruesome murder of the 75-year-old man.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspects may have scaled the perimeter walls of his house before committing the heinous act.
Through his X account Elkana Jacob, a media consultant, a criminologist, and a security expert, mourned, “RIP Mr John Middleton, golfers will miss you.”
Elkana added that the old man was a very social man who gave educative bits of advice. “He was a very nice guy. Outing, very social,” he stated in a call with Gossipa2z.com.
