A man charged with
fraud and conning a land buyer of Sh100 million was shot 13 times by gunmen
along Limuru road on Thursday morning.
Paul Kariuki Ngugi was
shot dead as he drove home with a female passenger.
The woman, whose
relationship with the deceased is yet to established, escaped unhurt.
Gigiri CID chief
Philip Kandie said police have opened investigations into the murder.
Nothing was stolen
from Ngugi's car in which police found copies of title deeds and other land
transaction documents.
Ngugi was charged at a
Nairobi court in 2014 with forging Joseph Muthama Macharia's title deed.
He was also charged
with conspiring to defraud Stephen Irungu Macharia using the forged title by
pretending he was the rightful property owner capable of selling it.
He reportedly
committed the crimes between April 9 and August 9 with accomplices not before
the court.
He faced a second
count of forgery, stating that the deed was signed by a registrar of titles
identified in the charge sheet as F I Lubullela.
He denied the charges
and was granted a Sh10 million bond or Sh3 million cash bail.
The case had been set
for hearing on March 26.
