A woman who collapsed and died in Nairobi's city center on Monday evening had been shot moments earlier, a post-mortem has revealed.

According to the police, Lilian Waithera, 46, who worked at the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), collapsed and died on Kaunda Street, Nairobi.
Witnesses and police said as she was walking, she started to complain of chest pain on February 13, at about 5pm.
She then collapsed and stopped breathing.
Her colleagues who were with her called an ambulance, which arrived quickly, but the responders declared her dead at the scene.
She had walked from her place of work in Upper Hill and was headed home when she collapsed.
On Monday, Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei said officers are investigating the incident.
Her family on Tuesday transferred her body to the Kenyatta University Mortuary, where a post-mortem showed the cause of death to be shooting, after a bullet was found lodged in the lungs.
“The female NHIF staff who collapsed and died along Kaunda Street on Monday evening had been shot from an elevated angle. Autopsy revealed the bullet was lodged in her lungs,” police said in a follow up report on Tuesday.
“The bullet entered through the collar bone, having been fired from an elevated angle,” police added.
The bullet head has since been handed over to the police for ballistic examination.
Police have opened a file and handed over the case to detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for further investigations.


Was it a case of an accident or deliberate shooting by overzealous gun owner? From an elevated position looks like someone who aimed and shot.
Someone somewhere is enjoying roast beef knowing very well they shot someone on Monday, today is Wednesday, how tiny was the entry wound to escape scrutiny ? mpaka post mortem ifanywe?

Kwani ilikuwa na silencer?

Did she work in procurement, accounts or audit?

Wanasema if you are fat, the under skin fat can seal the wound like form does in self sealing tyres

Someone shot up in the air and the bullet came down on her...quite sad

 

[Field Marshal]

I read this story and shuddered. I hope a psycho is not abroad because it will require very good detective skills to arrest him.

Na sound? no one heard anything? or it was shot from river road, went up then came down? @Clemens when cops fire in the air, those bullets land where?

Town can get noisy and the sound could get lost in all the commotion in town at that time

From the standard

Speaking to the Standard, Nairobi Regional Police Commander Adamson Bungei said the bullet that hit the 46-year-old was shot by someone who was on top of one of the buildings.

“The case is now with the ballistic experts who are trying to unravel who fired the shot, from where and what the motive was,” said Bungei

Basic law of physics what goes up via propulsion must come down. But let's wait for the detectives to unravel this mystery.

I doubt he can say that with 100 per cent certainty.

Na umeingia box ya hio story ya jaba, kwani bullet ikienda juu itarudi chini na the same velocity?

Na umeingia box ya hio story ya jaba, kwani bullet ikienda juu itarudi chini na the same velocity?

Who said for it to kill it has to come back with the same velocity?

 

[Theophillus]

I don't know the authenticity of this

 

[Afro]

....kwani bullet ikienda juu itarudi chini na the same velocity?

I would expect it to do so, factoring in acceleration due to gravity

The forward movement of a fired bullet is in spiral and that's how it inflicts fatal injuries and the exit wound is bigger than the entry. Ikirudi itarudi tu kama mawe.
