Detectives yesterday said city lawyer Assa Nyakundi shot two bullets in an incident that left his son dead. He was shot inside a car on Sunday.

The police also found two guns in the lawyer's house after preliminary investigations. The guns were a pistol and a shotgun rifle, serial number SP0030877 and T024641, respectively. They have been taken for ballistics examination. This was after Nyakundi handed over the pistol he used in the shooting.

"Dusting for prints and samples for forensic examinations were collected,” police preliminary investigations said.

The police also found 14 bullets in the Glock pistol used by the lawyer, despite Nyakundi reporting on Sunday when the incident happened that it contained 13 bullets.

The police said that the shooting occurred inside a Toyota Axio. One bullet was recovered in the boot while, a 9mm bullet was recovered under the mat on the back passenger’s seat.
