Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations have killed a robbery with violence suspect.
Following a Robbery With Violence incident where on May 6, 2020, a 61-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint while walking along Tendy Drive near St. Augustine Lavington at 5.30pm, the detectives from Dagoreti on Friday May 8, recovered the pistol and detained the motor vehicle used in the robbery by a three-man gang.
Acting on intelligence, the officers trailed the Toyota Probox Registration number KBN 936Y to Malenga Road near Mountain View Estate in Kangemi.
Upon interception and orders to surrender, three suspects abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot, with the armed one firing at the officers.
A response to his fire left him fatally injured, while the other two escaped but are being sought.
