Lawyer Assa Nyakundi’s son, whose case is still to be determined by court, is set to be buried today at Lang’ata Cemetery.
This is while the dad is receiving medical attention at the Nairobi Hospital.
Lawyer Nyakundi developed shock symptoms while at the Muthaiga Police Station where he had been detained for allegedly shooting his son.
He had been arrested on March 17, 2019, where he told police he was trying to holster his firearm while in the car when he accidentally fired, shooting his 29-year-old son in the chest.
He rushed him to Aga Khan Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
An autopsy report conducted on the body of the deceased however revealed that the son could have been shot from outside the vehicle and not inside as had been reported.
The autopsy was conducted by government pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor in the presence of the homicide team, government chemists, ballistic experts, forensic analysts from the DCI as well as lawyer Cliff Ombeta representing the suspect.
Nyakundi’s wife, Lydia Apungu Nyakundi, and his first born son Noah Nyakundi have on their part recorded statements with the Homicide Department at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
The duo is said to have refuted claims that the city lawyer and his son had a strained relationship prior to the incident.
The lawyer is expected to be arraigned in court after being discharged from hospital.
