More details have emerged on the violent lives the Akasha brothers led before their arrest and extradition to the United States of America in early 2017.
The two, Baktash and Ibrahim, are said to have had it easy killing their rogue associates when the need arose and even brutalized close relatives at times.
According to Vijaygiri Goswami, one of their associates then and an Indian drug lord, the two at some point managed to engineer the murder of an associate after a fallout.
Goswami told US attorney Geoffrey Berman that the two were behind the murder of South African named Pinky some years back. He was shot 32 times inside his car in South Africa.
He told the attorney that Ibrahim, the younger one, was the most brutal, and even killed his wife before tying his son to a tree and giving him a severe beating, almost killing him.
“The son was hospitalised for his injuries but survived,” Goswami said in a submission that was presented before Judge Victor Marrarro, according to the Sunday Nation.
The two are facing charges of conspiring to export 99 kilos of heroin and two kilogrammes of methamphetamine into the United States.
The duo, sons to the late older Ibrahim Akasha who was shot dead in the Netherlands in 2000 have since pleaded guilty.
They operated from Mombasa before their woes kicked off.
