According to a statement by Fauzia, the wife of the former Deputy Governor, three armed men entered their house, ordered them to switch on the lights and attacked them at around 11 pm
“I do not know the motive behind my husband’s killing,” she told journalists, “because they just shot him after stealing some items from us. I don’t know why my husband had to die.”
The gangsters who had covered their faces are said to have demanded money from the former deputy governor before they gunned him down. Fauzia further claimed that the gunmen made away with money, her mobile phone and other personal belongings.
Mombasa County Commissioner Evans Achoki confirmed the incident but did not give more details, “because investigations are still going on.”
Kwale Senator Issa Boy, who was among the first leaders to arrive at the home said the body of the slain former Kilifi Deputy Governor was taken to Coast General Hospital mortuary.
The deceased’s elder sister, Chiku said that this was the third time the family was being attacked in recent times adding that Kamto was aware that he was been followed by suspicious people.
