A suspected thug was shot dead as five others were injured, after police officers on patrol busted them attacking a 22-year old student in the city’s Githurai 44 area.
The student at Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology was accosted by a gang of six machete-wielding young men, who roughed him up thoroughly before stealing from him his mobile phone and Sh10,000 in cash.
The thugs first asked the victim to buy them cigarettes and he obliged by giving them Sh100. They then left him to enter a nearby food kiosk and have lunch, before ungratefully attacking him after he left the kiosk.
Police officers who were on patrol immediately rushed to the scene after the victim raised alarm, accosting the thugs who escaped to different directions under fire leaving one dead and five others injured.
