Police are investigating an incident in which a man was found dead in a public toilet along Ngong Road, Nairobi.
A cleaner told police he had gone to wash the toilet as part of his routine duties when he stumbled on the body on Monday evening.
The cleaner became concerned after the man overstayed in the toilet and failed to respond to knocks on the door.
He used a ladder to gain access and view the interior, where he saw the victim lying motionless on the floor.
Police were called and broke into the toilet, where they confirmed that Joseph Nyanganyi, 74, had died.
The body was moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy. It is not clear what caused his death or where he had been earlier, police said, adding that investigations were ongoing.
A crowd gathered at the scene as it was processed.
The toilets are usually open to the public at a fee. They are managed by different entities that pay the county government.
Those who operate the facilities are required to clean them regularly.
Elsewhere in the Witu area of Lamu County, Jefferson Mwavuli, 38, was shot and killed with an arrow by his father-in-law in a dispute over land.
The assailant fled the scene after the attack as police arrived and moved the body to the mortuary for further procedures.
Police said on Tuesday they were still pursuing the assailant for questioning.
The arrow was found lodged in his scrotum and was removed as an exhibit pending investigations, police said of the March 2 incident.
In the Kiembeni area of Mombasa County, a suspect was stoned to death after he allegedly attempted to steal a gas cylinder from a shop.
An alarm was raised, attracting a mob that stoned him to death. The body was moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy.
Cases of mob lynching have been on the rise amid calls to address the trend.
Police have discouraged mob justice and urged the public to surrender suspects to authorities for questioning and possible arraignment.
More than 500 people have in the past year been killed in separate mob lynching incidents across the country, officials revealed, terming it a worrying trend.
