Eunice Muthoni, a sister to Runyenjes MP Cecily Mbarire was on Monday night shot dead and her son wounded at their home in Kahawa Sukari estate Nairobi. The victim had just arrived and was awaiting her gate to be opened, when a waiting gang struck. She was shot in the neck and killed on the spot. Her son Kevin Muchangi is admitted to hospital with a bullet wound in the stomach.
Nairobi Area police boss Benson Kibui said the gang shot at the two and escaped soon after the incident in a waiting car without stealing anything from them.
“We do not know the motive of the attack but it seems they were out to either kill or injure. They escaped in a car that was waiting nearby,” said Kibui.
Kibui said police are pursuing various leads into the attack but no arrest has been made so far.
