Lawyer Assa Nyakundi Re-Arrested, to be Charged with Murder of 29-Year-Old Son

Nairobi lawyer Assa Nyakundi, who is accused of killing his son Joseph Bogonko, was re-arrested on Wednesday.

Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) George Kinoti said the lawyer will be charged afresh with murder. 

“He is in custody and will be in court for a murder charge,” Kinoti told Capital FM News.

Nyakundi was initially charged with manslaughter but Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji applied for a review of the case with a view of pressing murder charges against him.

The accused was out on a cash bail of Sh300,000 and a surety of Sh1 million. He was freed after denying the charges.

Kinoti interdicted two DCI officers handling the case for allegedly subverting justice. The two were accused of bungling investigations in a bid to have lawyer Nyakundi face lesser charges.

Nyakundi is reported to have shot his 29-year-old son Joseph Bogonko on March 17th, 2019.

Nyakundi told police officers that he was trying to safeguard his firearm while in the car when he accidentally shot his son in the chest.

However, an autopsy report carried out on the body of Bogonko indicated that the deceased was shot from outside the vehicle.

“The angle of shooting according to the projection could be ninety degrees, suggesting there was a confrontation,” the report read.

Back and forth back and forth that's how corrupt stupid fools conduct their judicial system. This man was good for murder charges as of day one. He paid up the DCI goons to murky the case but it seems Bogonko is fighting back from the gave.

The BIBLE says:

Children HONOR your Parents so that You may Live long.

Case in Point:
Just leave this man alone. Why? When I was growing up, one day a DRUNK young man (who was about to join University) SLAPPED his Dad (so bad) by the Doorway when the Father questioned him about his Drunkenness (before letting him into the House). Shortly after (a few months) the young man Died.

Nb: Nyakundi's son may have been one of those ABNOXIOUS and spoiled BRATS Nyakundi was Defending himself from ; or it was just a Father-son Altercation gone bad.

In an incorruptible judicial system, this guy could not have see the light of day, period.
A clear indication of how bad the judiciary has become!

GUEST1 ikiwa unatembea na mapepo hebu jitambulishe wazi wazi. How many children of yours have you killed? How do you know that the young man disrespected his father? How dare you exonerate a murderer before trial. You mad?

Kwa nini huyu ndugu yetu Assa Nyakundi aliruhusiwa kuwa na silaha? Mtu akikukasirisha kiwango fulani na una bunduki au bastola, bila shaka utaitumia.

Kuna sehemu moja ya ubongo inayoitwa "amygdala." Sehemu hii ndiyo inasimamia mambo ya hasira, kupaza sauti, kumpiga mtu na hata kumuua.

Unapowasiliana na mtu halafu uone sauti yake ikianza kwenda juu, ni heri ugeuze mazungumzo au uende zako. Pili, ukimsikia akianza kutoa matusi, ujue amygdala imo kazini.

Sehemu hii (amygdala) ina uwezo wa kuziba sehemu nyingine ya ubongo inayoitwa "prefrontal cortex." Sehemu hii, ndiyo inayohusika na binadamu kufanya vitendo vifaavyo ambavyo havitamdhuru au kumdhuru mtu mwingine.

Wataalamu wa ubongo (neuroscientists) wanasema ukilinganisha amygdala na prefrontal cortex kwenye ubongo, amygdala inatawala prefrontal cortex kiasi cha 80,000:1

Ni lazima uwe macho unapowasiliana na binadamu kwa sababu ya nguvu za sehemu hii ya ubongo (amygdala) kwenye maisha ya binadamu ya kila siku.

Nchi ya Marekani inapowaruhusu Wamarekani kuwa na uwezo wa kununua silaha, matokeo yake ni kuwa yapata watu 100 huuawa kila siku kwa utumiaji wa silaha walizo nazo. Nchi ya Marekani inaongoza duniani kwa mauaji yanayotokana na silaha kwenye nchi zinazoongoza dunia kwa maendeleo ya juu.

Yafaa wananchi wote wanyang'anywe silaha ili wasije wakafanya mambo ya Ndugu yetu Assa Nyakundi aliyofanya kwa kumtoa mwanawe uhai.

Let us look at the Scientific Evidence. He says that his gun fired accidentally. But Science says that he shot his Son, Intentionally, from outside the car, when his Son was inside the car. I don't know why, but I believe that the Lawyer intentionally killed his Son.
