The National Police Service (NPS) says preliminary investigations reveal the fatal shooting of Kasipul Member of Parliament Charles Ong’ondo Were was premeditated and executed with precision.
The Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, said the shooting at City Mortuary roundabout Wednesday night is currently a matter of active investigation, So far, no one has been arrested.
Tracing his Last Steps
There are two viable routes that the late Kasipul MP Charles Ong’ondo Were could have used after leaving the premises of the August House.
The first is driving through Parliament Road to Kenyatta Avenue through Valley Road all the way to the city mortuary roundabout.
The other could be Parliament Road through Haile Selassie Avenue to Ngong Road up to the city mortuary roundabout.
What was certain was that the legislator in a white Toyota Crown vehicle with number plate KDM 783 A was followed by unknown suspects onboard a motorcycle.
Not knowing what would befall him, the lawmaker, alongside his driver and bodyguard, was caught unawares. It is at the Nairobi hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The suspect fired several bullets, perhaps meant to eliminate any chance of survival of the legislator, before jumping onto the motorcycle and speeding into the darkness.
This would spark a series of events as detectives combed through his car and reenacted the crime scene.
Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, who was at the hospital and Lee funeral home alongside DCI Boss Amin Mohammed, affirmed that a manhunt for the suspects has begun, citing the incident was premeditated and well planned.
In February this year, the late Kasipul legislator in an interview with KBC Channel 1 said his life was in danger.
No suspects have been apprehended so far as investigations continue.
