Former Kilifi County Deputy Governor Kenneth Kamto has been shot dead by unknown men.
According to Coast Regional Police Commander Noah Mwivanda, Kamto was killed by gunmen at his Nyali home.
His body has been taken to Pandya Memorial Hospital Mortuary.
In October, Kamto appeared in a Shanzu court in Mombasa facing fraud charges for falsely obtaining Kshs 700,000 from Lawrence Mochama on January 27 at Maasai Resort in Mombasa.
He was, however, released on a Kshs 50,000 bond pending hearing of the case.
His co-accused in the case, Kennedy Ngala, allegedly obtained Kshs 400,000 from Mochama.
Who could have wanted him dead?
