Ken Wycliffe Lugwili, a Kenyan businessman with a dark past, died on June 13, 2023, at the Kenyatta National Hospital. He was 55 years old.

Lugwili was arrested in June 2022 after a cache of weapons and ammunition was found at his office in Kilimani, Nairobi. He was known to have a history of run-ins with the law, and was linked to a number of crimes, including land fraud, fake currency claims, and impersonation of a former President’s aide.

In 2011, Lugwili was linked to the death of former University of Nairobi student Mercy Keino. Keino was found dead in her apartment, and Lugwili was one of the last people to see her alive. However, he was never charged with her murder.

In 2019, Lugwili was arrested along with nine others after they were found in possession of counterfeit currency. He was released on bail, but the case against him is still pending.

In 2020, Lugwili was arrested for impersonating a former President’s aide in order to defraud businesspeople. He was released on bail, but the case against him is also still pending.

Lugwili’s death came as a surprise to many, as he had not been publicly reported to be ill. His family has not released any information about the cause of his death.

Lugwili’s death is a reminder of the dark side of Kenyan society. He was a man who lived on the fringes of the law, and his death is a tragedy for his family and friends. However, it is also a reminder that crime does not pay, and that those who break the law will eventually be brought to justice.

Lugwili’s funeral will be held on Friday, June 24, 2023, at his home in Buguga, Vihiga County.
