NAIROBI, KENYA: A middle-aged man was on Saturday night shot dead by thugs in Nairobi's
Kibera slums. The man is said to have been walking from a church meeting at about 10pm with a woman friend when a gang on a motorbike ambushed them.
Police say the criminals first grabbed a bag from the man's hand but he held on even after being
warned to surrender it. The bag contained a
Bible.
"In the struggle, the gang was angered and shot him first in the leg and then in the chest, killing
him on the spot," said Nairobi deputy police boss Moses Ombati.
The gang escaped with the bag but dropped it few metres ahead after realising it had no valuables.
Mr Ombati said police were investigating the crime to establish whether there was any other
motive behind the shooting.
