Police have narrated how a 17-year-old boy was on Thursday night killed by a bullet fired by Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) officers in Nairobi’s Huruma slums.
Haila Asanake died after being hit by a stray bullet fired by DCI detectives.
Police now say that the detectives were repulsing hostility from residents.
Asanake’s family says the teenager was standing on a balcony at their Kiamaiko home at around 8pm, when the bullet fatally struck him.
Police now say DCI detectives attached to Pangani post had stopped a suspicious motor vehicle, and when the driver of the car alighted, he “started a scuffle with the detectives”.
The resultant melee, police say, attracted other members of the public, who reacted by stoning the detectives.
“This prompted officers to shoot in the air,” says a police report filed at the Huruma Police Station under the OB Number 70/09/09/2021.
Asanake, who was allegedly killed by the fired bullet, died on arrival at the Jumuia Hospital, where his body is currently preserved awaiting postmortem.
The deceased’s uncle, Branu Boku Cheme, said the teenager was a law-abiding boy, who occasionally earned money from working as a porter.
