Fresh details have emerged regarding the armed robbery suspect who was shot dead by police during a dramatic chase along Kenyatta Road, where officers also recovered a suspected stolen Toyota Vitz.
The deceased has been identified as George Kimani, who was also reportedly known by the aliases Wanjohi, Wangeshi, and Jontez.
According to a man claiming to be the owner of the recovered vehicle, Kimani allegedly stole his Toyota Vitz outside a church in Section 9, Thika, before police later tracked him down.
The vehicle owner further alleged that Kimani served as the treasurer of an ACK church in the Kenyatta Road area and lived in Valley Estate.
He also claimed that Kimani’s second wife operates a shop along the same road where the suspect was fatally shot while allegedly attempting to flee from police.
In a message shared online, the man wrote:“Hello Nyakundi. The guy who was gunned down at Kenyatta Road is the guy who stole my car outside church in Section 9, Thika. He is called George Kimani alias Wanjohi or Wangeshi or Jontez. I am told he is the treasurer in one of the ACK churches at Kenyatta Road. He has a home at Valley Estate. His first wife died mysteriously and now has a second wife who runs a shop along the road called Kwa Njoro – the same road he was killed on while trying to flee. I lost my car and he lost his life.”
