One person was on Saturday killed during a shootout between detectives and suspected gangsters.
According to the DCI, the slain suspect was part of a three-man gang that is suspected to have been involved in a robbery with violence incident on May 6, 2020.
They allegedly robbed a 61-year-old man at gunpoint while he was walking along Tendy Drive near St Augustine Lavington around 5:30pm.
Acting on a tip-off from members of the public, detectives from Dagoreti trailed the gang of three who were in a Toyota Probox (Reg no. KBN 936Y) to Malenga Road near Mountain View Estate in Kangemi.
According to a police report, the three suspects abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot but they were intercepted and ordered to surrender.
