A Nigerian was stabbed to death by a countryman in a dispute over money in Ruaka Town, Kiambaa sub-county, on Monday.

"The guy came over and they met at the gate. He stopped outside his friend's car, knocked on the window, took out the knife and stabbed his friend in the chest," a guard at the residence in question said.

Nieghbours said the watchman held the attacker and beat him up but that he was later saved by police.

They described the friends as secretive and reserved.

The officers said the victim was stabbed several times following a disagreement over an unknown amount of money.

The suspect was taken to Karuri police police station and the body to City Mortuary.
