Fresh police reports claim that the missing car at the centre of the shooting of Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif may not have been stolen as earlier reported.
According to preliminary reports, the car was found by police at a petrol station in Kiserian with a 26-year-old on the steering wheel.
The youth was apprehended and presented in court on Tuesday, October 25, where he was charged with driving without a driving license.
However, it also emerged that his father, who was a complainant, filed for the case withdrawal.
The son allegedly drove off with his father's car to attend an event. While on board, his phone was silent.
His father reportedly tried to call him, but he was not answering, prompting him to file the report at Pangani Police Station that he had left his car in the parking at Ngara area with his son inside.
The car was a Mercedes Benz Sprinter van, registration number KDJ 7***, while the one the Pakistani journalist was travelling in was a Toyota Landcruiser V8, registration number KDJ 2***.
The disappearance of the car led to the shooting of the Pakistani journalist who was accused of evading a makeshift roadblock along Magadi Road in Kajiado county.
Following the shooting, National Police Service (NPS) issued a statement stating that the shooting was a case of mistaken identity.
But to bring the perpetrators on board, four General Service Unit (GSU) officers were grilled, and their firearms confiscated for ballistic analysis.
Another officer who sent out the missing car alarm was also grilled on Tuesday, October 25.
Pakistan government further formally inquired into the killing of the broadcaster in the country after his remains were airlifted for burial.
Meanwhile, his family continued to call for justice regarding the tragic incident.
