KRA Officer Dies After Attack by a Swarm of Bees in His Car
A Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) officer lost his life following a bee attack in Mombasa on Saturday.
John Muthine Mutwiri was in the company Maurice Kinyua and Hezekiel Gikambi inside his car when a swarm of bees arrived and circled the vehicle.
“The bees entered the vehicle and they alighted to get safety outside. They all ran in different directions,” says a police report filed under OB number 41/11/12/2021 at Makupa police station.
As he scampered to safety, Mutwiri was overwhelmed by the multiple bee stings and collapsed at a nearby garage.
“Through the assistance of the garage owner one Mwaruwa Chikophe, he managed to get a Tuk Tuk and rushed him to hospital,” the police report adds.
Unfortunately, Mutwiri was pronounced dead on arrival at Coast Teaching and Referral Hospital. His body was taken to the Coast General Hospital mortuary awaiting a postmortem examination.
The incident happened at the Red Brick area within Majengo in Mombasa at around 11:45 am. The deceased was attacked to KRA investigation and enforcement department, according to reports.
In some cases, bee stings may lead to a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis and death.

Sounds like witchcraft to me. Bees just don’t attack unless provoked. Someone was out to get the tax man.
Comrade KK,
If witchcraft existed, most us would be dead, since most of us have enemies or people who are just envious.
Tuache UJINGA ya KAMUTI.
Pole kwa jamii ya Baite Mutwiri kwa mukasa.But those bees might have been misled by the GPS guiding them.They were to have attended the so-called JAMHURI DAY celebrations at UHURU GARDENS to give Kenyans ADVANCE Christmas presents.I hope they fly straight to both parliaments and state house next time and deal with those demons mercilessly.
Warriors you nailed it! Wacha iende ikule hao mpigs waishe
Pole sana brother. My heart with you and your family
Beware of Colognes and Body sprays or Roll-ons you Put on. Just take Shower/ or Bathe, use Lotion and be Safe & ORGANIC. Stay on your Lane. Wacha kushindana na Harufu za Wafaranza (waoga🤯🤯🤯 wa Maji) na Malaya🥳🥳🥳 zao. After all: Sense of Smell (or Taste) are Acquired over Time; as we Grow up.
True. Maybe he was Wearing a Cologne or Body spray that Attracted the Bees.
John Muthine Mutwiri had earlier on been cautioned about unfairly targeting a business owned by one Michael Nyakundi and he did not heed the warning.
RIP.
