Police have killed a man they accused of shooting an MP and a Kenya Power employee.
In an operation conducted at 6am on Saturday morning, a team of Flying Squad officers surrounded Mr Peter Wanjohi’s house in Kiserian.
He was shot dead and a Star pistol loaded with five rounds of ammunition was found.
Police said Mr Wanjohi was part of a gang that robbed Samburu MP Raphael Letimalo and shot him in the leg at the legislators home at River Bank estate in Rongai last month.

They robbed him of Sh 30,000 and two mobile phones.
The husband of Olympic medalist Vivian Cheruiyot was also attacked.
Mr Moses Kiplagat lost Sh350,200 and a Toyota Prado when he was attacked by three gun men as he was heading to his home in Ngong two weeks ago.
Inspector General David Kimaiyo further said the man was among gangsters who robbed Mr Abuya Abuya of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commision, and “murdered a Kenya Power employee.”
Mr Kimaiyo also said Mr Wanjohi was also being sought in connection with other offences including rape.
Separately, gangsters raided a bar in Nairobi and injured two patrons.
One of the assailants was cornered and lynched by a mob as the gangsters fled the scene after the robbery.
During the 9pm Saturday incident, the gang ordered patrons to lie on the floor.
One of them asked the waiters to surrender cash as they frisked the patrons.
But a confrontation ensued between the gang and patrons and the robbers shot two customers.
Elsewhere, a man was robbed in Nairobi’s Kileleshwa estate as he drove into his compound on the same night.
Gangsters confronted him as he waited for the watchman to open the gate.
