Stoneham - Mau - Kabete - Col. & Mrs Tulloch lived in a house on the Lower Kabete Road, a lonely place surrounded by bush and trees. The couple were over 70. At 8 o'clock that night they prepared to take supper in the bedroom, as their custom was. At the time there were 5 Africans in the house: servants and visitors whom the Colonel permitted. 5 men made the attack. They rushed through the kitchen into the house and into the bedroom. Col. Tulloch had taken his supper and got into bed. This was bad luck, for the mosquito net prevented his reaching his revolver. He was struck several times and badly injured. The natives in the house made no attempt to protect the white people. Had they been Nandi or Kipsigi they would have fought, but being Kikuyu they simply bolted. One was knocked out in the kitchen, another preceded the robbers into his master's bedroom and dived for safety under the bed, a third fled to the servants' quarters. An ayah ran into another bedroom and locked the door.

Thinking the intruder's purpose to be purely robbery, the Colonel told them: "Take these 3 boxes and go; there is money in them." Actually they contained £30 in cash. While they ransacked the house he managed to struggle to the telephone and dial 999. This system had lately been introduced in Nairobi, in imitation of London, and in  response to the call a KPR car set out for the house in the Lower Kabete Road, but it would take some time to reach it. Meanwhile the thieves took all they could carry and prepared to leave. Before doing so one of them struck Mrs Tulloch across the face with a panga, severing her nose.
