POLICE-LINE NAIROBI Kenya, Aug 12 – A
woman who was set to get married this
week has been shot dead by unknown
assailants who also wounded her fiancé’s
brother.
The woman, her fiancé and his brother had
been shopping for her wedding scheduled
for Saturday when three gunmen
confronted them inside a shop at Corner
House, and pumped bullets into her head.
Central divisional police Chief Patrick Oduma
said the fiancé was unhurt and nothing was
stolen from them.
“This incident occurred at around 4pm whereby
the bride and the brother to the bridegroom had
come to buy a ring. The couple was set to marry
on Saturday at a church in Mathare North,” he
said.
“Unfortunately before they gave out money for
the ring they had identified, three men armed
with a pistol pounced in and shot the bride and
the brother to the bridegroom and immediately
left.”
The woman died instantly but her brother-in-
law was rushed to the Kenyatta National
Hospital after sustaining bullet wounds to the
head.
Police said they believe the attackers were on a
killing mission.
“We have launched investigations to why this
could happen in this manner. The intention was
not to steal,” he stated.
“According to us, this is a total assassination or
murder; we are going to follow up the matter
and bring to book whoever is involved.”
