It is pain and sorrow that fills the heart of the father of a man who was allegedly run over and killed by radio personality and actor, Davis Mwabili a.k.a Inspekta Mwala.

The man who died has been identified as Ishmail Yaa. His father, Alex Mangi Yaa told K24 TV that he is lawyering up to institute a lawsuit against Mwala.

He further disclosed that ever since the accident occurred, Mwala has never reached out to his family.

“We are now looking for a lawyer to represent us in court. Sadly, Mwala is yet to communicate with us despite killing our son, who has left behind a young wife and a child,” he stated.

On August 27, reports indicate that he was coming from a funeral heading to Mombasa when the accident occurred.

Police arrived in time to save him from a mob who wanted to attack him.

"I have nothing to say. Police knows what happened," Mwala told the Star on phone while declining to comment more on what transpired.

The body of the deceased was taken from Coast General Hospital while the wreckage of the car was towed to Rabai Police Station.

He was arrested shortly after the incident and taken to Rabai Police Station, where he spent the night before being released on Tuesday, on a Ksh 40,000 cash bail.

He will be arraigned in court on Friday, August 30.
