The vehicle that they were using - a Toyota NZE - had been stolen in Murang'a the previous day and the officers were reportedly tracking it.

Speaking to journalists, Kayole OCPD John Gichagi said they started pursuing the thugs after being informed that they were driving around the estate.

He said the officers tried stopping it but the men who were inside the car drew their guns and started shooting.

The police retaliated and gunned down two occupants while the other two escaped on foot. A manhunt has since been launched for the men who escaped.

Police recovered a home made gun, handcuffs, one round of ammunition and a mobile phone which the officers believe one of the suspects was using.
