‘Very humble’ priest dies in attack on Kenya philosophical institute

An elderly Italian priest apparently died of suffocation late Friday morning in Nairobi after two attackers tied him up and stuffed his mouth with papers.

The attack took place in Fr. Giuseppe Bertaina’s office at the Consolata Institute of Philosophy where the 82-year-old priest was the administrator, the Catholic Information Service for Africa (CISA) reports. The attackers also vandalized his office and fled with an unknown amount of money.
