The two attacked and were trying to rob women along Nduaru Road when they were killed.
"They had been attacking and robbing women headed for the markets and other errands when we were alerted," said Nairobi police commander Mr Japheth Koome.
Koome said the attack on the women came to a halt when an alarm raised alerted police officers on patrol at 5 am. He also said that there was a third party that managed to escape on a motorbike that the thugs had.
Mr. Japheth Koome said the hunt for the third thug is still ongoing and the bodies for the two were moved to the mortuary.
