Police in Nairobi have intensified their war against criminal gangs with Nairobi's most wanted criminal Shimoli Jr felled by Kenya Police in Jericho on Friday.

Though details of the incident remain scanty, reports indicate he was felled after being trailed.

Mr Shimoli, at the time of his murder, had confessed to 14 murders, 88 rapes plus a string of bank robberies and drug deals in a decade-long crime plot.

He was also a serial jailbreaker, escaping from prison four times, including staging an escape from the country's maximum security prison moments before he was to be hanged.
