Man Shot Dead by Wife’s Ex-Husband in Tana River

A 70-year-old man was tragically shot and killed in Bangale, Tana River County. According to police reports, the incident took place on July 3 in Boka village, within the Boka sub-location, and involved a man named Abdile Nadhir.

The victim was at home with his wife when an armed intruder knocked on the door and forced entry. Once inside, the attacker shot Nadhir, killing him instantly.

Police investigations revealed that Nadhir had married his current wife a year ago, following her divorce from the suspected assailant. After the shooting, the suspect took his two children—a 10-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl—whom he had with the woman before their divorce.

The assailant fled with the children to an unknown location. Police recovered a spent cartridge at the crime scene and have moved the body to Garissa Level Five Hospital mortuary for a postmortem examination. A manhunt for the assailant is currently underway, police said.
