Kenya Airways Pilot Murdered By Two People With One AK47 Rifle

Captain John Ndung’u Mugwanja, who had also served in the Kenya Airforce, was shot dead at his house in Kamuguga area, near Zambezi in Kiambu district.

Muguga in the outskirts of Nairobi witnessed a rather bizarre incident yesterday when a Kenya Airways pilot was murdered in cold blood right in his house as his family witnessed. He was shot several times with what eyewitnesses say was an AK47 rifle.

Police say the pilot’s name was Captain John Ndung’u Mugwanja.

Although the thugs tried to make the whole incident look like a robbery, they failed miserably. They asked the man's wife for money, but when they reached him, they simply dragged him to the bathroom and shot him dead. The killing was carried out by two people while another 5 kept vigil outside.

The victim apparently knew what was coming and may have known the reason for his execution because his daughter said that he looked at her and then looked up towards heaven moments before the bullets brutally cut into him.

This incident is not about the escalating crime, but in fact it is about the increasing number of "executions" or "hits" in the country, which are never explained.

It is time for the authorities and especially the police whose favorite tactic is being economical with the facts, to tell Kenyans what is happening and why so many people are being murdered for no apparent reason.

Being a Kenya Airways captain, this latest victim's death is open to plenty of speculation. Could he have refused to co-operate with drug traffickers and this was a revenge execution? Or was the motive more personal?
