Circumstances under which GSU men shot Pakistani journalist Arshad dead in Kajiado

Pakistani investigative journalist Arshad Sharif was shot dead Sunday night. Police say the journalist and his brother Khurram Ahmed failed to stop at a police barrier. Khurram was the driver.

The car in which Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif was reportedly shot and killed had ten bullet holes.
The details that emerged from an OB report obtained by the standard indicate that the car, registration number KDG 200M, had a bullet hole on the left side of the windscreen where the deceased was sitting.

The Kenya Police Service said it would issue a statement on the death but it hadn't done so by the time this article was posted.
It also had two bullet holes on the rear left back screen, one bullet hole on the rear right door, four holes on the right side of the boot and deflated right tire.
The 50-year-old Pakistan TV show host and an award-winning journalist died on Sunday after the vehicle he was travelling in with his brother Khurram Ahmed was shot by the General Service Unit at Kuenia Farm along Kamukuru Road Kajiado County.
The two are said to have spent the weekend in Magadi town and were driving back to the city when the shooting occurred.
According to an OB report obtained by the Standard, it all started when officers from DCI in Starehe, Nairobi, circulated a report of theft of a motor vehicle.
The report indicated Mr Douglas Wainaina had parked his vehicle registration number KDJ 700F outside an electrical shop and left his son Dancan Kamau inside and on return, he found the vehicle missing.
