The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Kilifi County Election Manager, Aisha Akinyi Abubakar, was on Sunday night attacked and killed in a violent robbery at her home in Utange, Mombasa.
Mombasa County Police Commander Peter Kimani said two men, one armed with a crowbar and the other with a knife, broke into Ms Abubakar's house. "They gained access into the deceased's house through the kitchen.
The son rushed to rescue the mother and was injured," said Mr Kimani, adding that they were yet to establish the motive of the attackers.
The IEBC official's son aged 17, is undergoing treatment at a local hospital.
