A Nairobi based lawyer has been detained by detectives to unravel how he allegedly shot dead his 28 yr old son inside his car.
Assa Nyakundi Kibagedi alleges that after leaving ICC Church on Mombasa Road where he had attended, at around 1am, he drove towards his home located on Muthaiga with his son sitting in the back seat.
When they arrived at the gate, he reached for his pistol to safeguard it by putting it in its sheath( for carrying a handgun) but as he was in the process, he says he pulled the shot hitting the son sitting on the back seat on the chest.
He rushed him to Aga Khan Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
“The reportee who is a civilian firearm holder has been detained to assist in further investigations. The said firearm loaded with 14 rounds of 9mm and the m/v have been kept as exhibits,” said police.
As the body awaits postmoterm, Police have confiscated the firearm, which had 14 rounds of ammunition left after the incident.
