City lawyer Assa Nyakundi was Sunday evening admitted to the Nairobi Hospital after he shot and killed his son in what he claims was an accident.
Police on Sunday detained Nyakundi to help with investigations after he shot to death his son near their house in Nairobi.
Mr Nyakundi, who reported the incident to the police, said he was travelling to his Muthaiga North house from church with his son, 29, in the back seat of his Toyota Axio car.
Mr. Nyakundi was rushed to the hospital after developing shock symptoms while at the Muthaiga Police Station where he had been detained for interrogation on the fatal shooting.
He was expected to be arraigned in court on Monday on a miscellaneous application for the prosecution to obtain more time to conclude investigations into the incident.
Mr. Nyakundi, who reported the shooting at Muthaiga Police Station, told police that the incident occurred at 1am on Sunday as he was driving to his Muthaiga North home from ICC Church on Mombasa Road with his 29-year-old son Joseph Nyakundi
He claims that as they neared his house, he reached for his pistol from the right seat pouch and in the process to holster the gun he ‘accidentally’ pulled the trigger, shooting his son, who was on the back seat of the Toyota Axio car, in the chest.
