Police and witnesses say the deceased had come to open the gate for her son on Monday night when a gang that had been waiting struck shooting both of them.

The gang of three had apparently been waiting for the arrival of Muchangi before they struck.

Nairobi Area police boss Benson Kibui said the gangย shotย at the two and escaped soon after the incident in a waiting car without stealing anything from them.

โ€œWe 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,โ€ said Kibui.

Kibui said police are pursuing various leads into the attack but no arrest has been made so far.
