Thugs Shoot Dead Saleswoman For Kshs 2,000 ($27)

A Sales assistant at a wines and spirits shop in a Nairobi estate was on Monday afternoon shot dead by a three-man gang moments after she had received a small payment from a customer.

Ms Julia Njoki was shot twice in the chest at a wines and spirits shop in the sprawling Kayole Estate in Nairobi. The incident took place in broad daylight at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

But the most shocking thing about the whole episode was the fact that the gang snatched a paltry Kshs 2,000 from the dead woman.

Divided amongst the three thugs that is Kshs 666 each. Hardly the kind of money to take this sort of risk for. What is coming to Nairobi?

What makes the whole situation even more worrying is the fact that a lot of crimes like these ones usually go unreported.

  1. It is so perturbing that crimes such as these are occurring more frequently, and even more concerning is the fact that most of them go unreported.

  2. For me it just doesnt make sense because that cash isnt even enough for them to pay for the bullets they used, so who knows there could be a subtext to it.
