“Despite being protected and being careful about his personal safety, it is sad that things went against expectations,” Said Murkomen.
Murkomen’s statements have raised many questions, with many wondering if those around the deceased were involved in the murder plan.
Was the security guard and driver of the Kasipul MP arrested?
Murkomen’s statement came after the Criminal Investigation Department (DCI) confirmed that the driver and security guard were arrested.
The two survived without injuries during the attack, with the MP dying from gunshot wounds.
Charles Owino, a former police spokesman, confirmed that they were arrested on May 6 after making controversial information about the incident.
The Witnesses explained that on the night of the attack, the security guard jumped from a Toyota Crown to chase the attackers but failed to arrest them.
He later returned to the car where he and the driver rushed the MP to the hospital.
Despite the efforts, the gunshot wounds suffered by the Kasipul MP were very serious and was declared dead when he was taken to hospital.
Was Were’s guard surprised suddenly at the time of the attack?
An armed guard, who was sitting back during the attack, said the incident was sudden and very shocking.
He explained that he had been bored and failed to act immediately.
He also explained that using a motorcycle brought benefits to the attackers as they were able to escape quickly and avoid traffic congestion.
A surgical report showed that the MP, who was sitting next to the driver, was shot five times.
