Two suspected gunmen are said to have shot through a window killing Mr Robert Chesang, 45,in his house at Moke Gardens on Sunday afternoon in broad day light.
When Police were called and informed of the shooting incident in the area they responded but on arrival at the scene, they realized the main gate and door to Chesang’s house were locked.
“The officers jumped into the compound where they peeped through the door and saw his body lying in a pool of blood in the living room,” said an officer who was at the scene.
The guard on duty at the estate told police the two assailants arrived at about 12.30pm and demanded that he lead them to Mr Chesang’s house.
They knocked on the door and the lawyer peeped through the curtains.When the gunmen spotted him, one of them opened fire, killing him on the spot and later ran away without stealing anything.
But before they left, they tied up the sentry and left him in a corner in the compound.
Police said were informed about the shooting by Chesang’s neighbours.
The gunman shot him three times in the chest, a preliminary examination of the body showed.
“He seemed to have been living in fear. Instead of opening the door, he first peeped through the window, where he was shot,” said a police officer.
Police found seven spent cartridges of an AK-47 rifle at the scene. Two cartridges were found in the house and five outside the window.
“It is rare to find criminals with rifles and especially AK-47. This seems to be classic elimination using serious people, probably State operatives,” said another official.
