Kenyans are mourning a popular football fan who painted his body during matches.

Isaac Juma was hacked to death at his hometown in western Kenya on Wednesday night, local media report.

Mr Juma was known for using his body as a canvas during national and local teams’ matches.

“You were a gem, jovial and entertaining,” Abu Rumi tweeted.

“We will truly miss your unwavering support for Kenyan football, Omwami. You were a devoted follower! Fare thee well!,” @SallyBolo wrote.
