A Meru businessman was shot dead at a pub in Meru town by an unknown gunman in what residents say could have been an assassination.
43 year old Jeremiah Mutuma was out drinking with friends at the pub, located in a building in which he owns when the incident occurred.
Witnesses say that the attacker shot from outside through the window and ran off before locals had a chance to identify him.
Residents claim that the deceased could have been targeted. The deceased's brother was also shot behind the same pub a few years ago.
The Nation reports that no one has been arrested yet and that police officers have launched investigations into the murder.
