Police engaged in running battles with Masinde Muliro University students in Kakamega town who were rioting after a fifth year student was brutally murdered and his body dumped in Mahiakalo area.
The body of the student who was pursuing an engineering course at the university was discovered at the wee hours by neighbours.
Another student was found lying in critical condition close to the deceased and he is undergoing treatment at the county referral hospital.
Kakamega county police commander Joseph Kigen said that the deceased could have been murdered elsewhere and his body dumped there suspecting that it could be a love triangle case.
Students blamed the security apparatus for failling in their course and want action taken to ensure the security of the students.
Police officers had a rough time to calm down the rowdy students who lit old tires blocking operations on the Kakamega Webuye highway for hours.
This disrupted traffic flow for hours.
Police are investigating the incident with an aim of establishing the motive and killers.
