On the fateful Sunday morning the 20th of May while most of us were still tossing and turning in bed and others nursing serious hangovers after being out the previous night out, a woman was being shot dead.

This happened at Nairobi's City Park, a few kilometres from Kibera. 

Six police officers are caught in the mix but only two them are said to have opened fire. 

41-year-old Janet Waiyaki was in the company of a 26 year old young man, Benard Chege. 

Anonymous witnesses were quoted saying that the car arrived at the park between 9:15am and 9:30am and this was roughly 45 minutes before the shooting happened. 

The 26 year old says that they were relaxing but according to the police, the two were in a compromising situation. Mr Chege says there was nothing like that. 

AP officers who were allegedly alerted by Eustace Mureithi, a guard, of the presence of the car which they then went and found having all windows closed.

A report sent by Parklands police boss Moses Shikuku said that the officers then knocked on the tinted windows but there was no response and all of a sudden the car sped off towards the road. 

It was then that the two AP constables William Chirchir from Makadara police station and Godfrey Kirui from Industrial Area Police Station opened sustained fire and fired 15 bullets into the vehicle. 

The vehicle then stopped and a wounded Chege tried to apply pressure on his wound which was very painful. 

He reportedly begged the cops to give him a piece of cloth to try and stop the bleeding but they didn't want to help. 

The two were then taken to Avenue Hospital where Ms Janet was pronounced dead on arrival. 

Chege's family has taken to social media to plead to well wishers to donate blood for him.

The police however  claim that both occupants were half naked but Ms Waiyaki's family is saying otherwise. 

Why was Ms Waiyaki taken to the city mortuary half naked with her top only while Mr Chege was taken to hospital fully dressed, they ask. 

"Janet was seated in the back seat. The police want us to believe that Chege had enough time to dress up, belt up and jump from the back seat to the driver's seat and start driving before they could open fire. Could Janet have worn her clothes too?" one relative asked. 

From photos taken, it is said that  the car has two bullet holes at the rear where Janet had been seated.

Might she have been the target?

Apparently, the two were related.

Chege is nephew of Waiyaki's husband and it was not the first time they were together and they were said to be close confidants.

Ms Waiyaki was the second wife of a business man who owns several business and she worked at one of her husband's business shop. 

She has left behind three children with the youngest being two

 Food for thought: 

Police say that the two were in a compromising situation, how could they have seen if all the windows were up and also tinted. 

Last time I checked, one cannot see the inside of a tinted car.

Allegedly, the two officers were on duty. How so far from their stations and in an area under the jurisdiction of the Parklands Police Station, this still remains a mystery. 

Lastly, why did they shoot at the rear door where Ms Waiyaki was seated? If they wanted to stop the car they would have either shot at the driver or rather aimed at the car tyres, but why at the rear?
