Kenyans woke up to horrifying news of a man killed after his car was sprayed with bullets on Thika Road on Tuesday night at 10 PM.
Police have now reveal the man’s identity.
Mwangi Munene, who our sources say was a businessman based in Roysambu and a “police informer in Nairobi” was killed instantly after three men who had been trailing him sprayed over 70 bullets.
The shooting happened near the Vincentian Retreat Centre on Thika super highway after he was reportedly stopped by three men in hoodies who were driving a black vehicle.
“So far we have not gotten any leads in our investigations but the DCI is on it. The identity of the man has been established, he used to live in Kasarani with his family but was born in Nyeri county. Nobody knows where he was coming from because he was alone at the time of the shooting. The circumstances surrounding the incident are still unclear,” Central regional coordinator Wilson Njega.
It has also emerged that Mwangi was well-known to police in Kasarani and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters in Nairobi.
