Detectives based at DCI Starehe says, they are looking for three suspects who raided a drinking joint at Ruaraka’s Kasabuni area, and ordered all revelers to lie down before ransacking their pockets and fleeing into darkness.
The three miscreants who were reportedly armed with a firearm initially posed as vagabonds of unsound mind carrying sacks on their backs, before entering Reke Marie pub to seek for alms.
“All this while, the revelers who were unperturbed by the trio’s presence continued corroding their esophageal glands with impunity as they downed cold swallows, until one of the presumed mad men whipped out a riffle from his sack and ordered everyone to lie down!” Said DCI.
“Kila mtu lala chini!’’ ordered the thugs as the pub suddenly went quiet, save for the stereo that continued playing C.D.M Kiratu’s oldie hit song Kaba Kuinuka. One of the revelers who seemed to have imbibed one too many retorted “Kari inyui aa?” because who are you?… as his mate quipped “dukire wee!” shut up! they are miscreants!
The thugs are said to then had a field day ransacking their pockets for mobile phones, cash and other valuables. But as they made their exit, the reveler who was drunk as a fiddler and couldn’t keep his mouth shut bursted out unprintable words related to the canines family, much to the chagrin of his drinking mates who feared for their lives. “Maina niugutuneana!,” You will deliver us Maina! whispered one of the worried revelers.
This prompted the thugs to fire two rounds in the air attracting the attention of police officers on patrol, who immediately rushed to the scene. However, by the time of their arrival the thugs had vanished into darkness.
Two empty cartridges of 7.62mm were collected at the scene. Meanwhile, police are pursuing leads into the whereabouts of the thugs masquerading as beggars. The spent cartridges have since been sent to the DCI National Forensic Laboratory for scientific analysis by ballistic experts.
