Olwal, a father of three, had left a shop in Nairobi on Tuesday morning, November 18, to deliver the high-end smartphone to a client identified as Hilary at Meridian Apartments in South B.
According to his family, this would tragically become his last boda boda trip.
What are the details of the iPhone Anthony Olwal was delivering?
Investigations revealed that the order was placed via WhatsApp by a man who claimed to be in Eldoret.
The man allegedly told the seller that the phone was to be delivered to his brother, Hilary, at a guesthouse in the Sana Sana area.
WhatsApp chats leaked showed that the buyer initially inquired about the availability of the iPhone 17 Pro Max
“IPhone 17, is it available? Colour orange 256 GB?…How much?… Make it KSh 200,000, please,” he bargained after he was informed that it would cost KSh 225,000.
After negotiations, the seller agreed to lower the price to KSh 220,000, which the buyer accepted.
He then directed the seller to deliver the phone to Hilary, providing his phone number.

Olwal’s wife, Eunice Atieno, recalled her last conversation with him.
“The last time I called him was at 10.30am. He told me he had arrived at the client’s place and promised to call back. From there, I don’t know what happened,” she said emotionally.
The family later noted that both of Olwal’s phone numbers went off around noon, raising alarm.
Hours later, his lifeless body was discovered in Room 14 on the fourth floor of the apartment with blood oozing on the floor.
What killed Anthony Olwal?
A postmortem result revealed that he was struck by a heavy object.
“My brother was tortured. He had blood oozing all over his body. I can’t tell the motive of those people, whether it was to commit murder or to steal the phone,” he said.
Detectives recovered a knife, a metal rod, and the iPhone Olwal was tasked to deliver.
His motorbike was also found parked outside the apartment.
Investigations further revealed that the room was booked by two men shortly before the delivery, and they paid KSh 2,500 in cash.
Authorities are pursuing leads to track down the suspects, as Olwal’s family continues to demand justice for their slain relative.
