On August 21, 1995, police commissioner Shadarack Kiruki made an unusual announce; he named three people Kenya's most wanted gangsters.
The three were Bernard Matheri Thuo alias Rasta, Anthony Ngugi Kanagi alias Wacucu, and Gerald Wambugu Munyeria alias Wanugu.
A bounty of Sh100, 000 was placed on their heads.
The three were notorious gun lovers so slippery that they killed several GSU officers, CID officers as well as several motorists during violent carjackings.
Thier bank heists were also on another level. They staged bloodless bank thefts in those days. After a successful bank theft, they would spend the loot on guns, beer, and women in that order!
One paper once described them as the trio who loved guns, women, and rogue cops.Their looting spree, however, would come to an end when a squad was formed to track and kill them.
The squad was led by the trigger-happy cop Daniel Seroney. Seroney was a tough cop, with superb informers and a sharpshooter.
Armed with the secret that a man's number one weakness is a woman, I mean a cute woman, Seroney sampled all the female officers and plucked Amina like a rose flower among the woods.
Amina had a killer figure and the beauty of a Somali. He used her to track down the three crime-brothers.
Wacucu was killed a few days after the Seroney squad was formed.
He was killed on his way to Ongata Rongai.
Six months down the line, the squad got a tip that Wanugu was in Nakuru. He was tracked to Nakuru's Kabatini centre where he was having fun with one of his chain of women.
Obsessed with the beauty and pleasures of a woman, Wanugu could not smell the rat. His instincts were dead, or his 40th day was due.
Happy-trigger Seroney did what he knew best; pull the trigger. Gunshots rent the air as mild residents scampered for safety.
Cows and sheep that were tethered around chewed the ropes and run away. One man peed on himself as he run away to the bush.
It was a battleground as Wanugu ducted bullets using his chick as a shield. When the magazines became empty, and the dust settled, Wanugu had been sprayed with bullets.
His body lay there, and beside him was the last woman to have spent his time with, she was dead too.
And that story is narrated at Kabatini as if it happened yesterday!
