“Everything was in place when officers visited the scene. Even his phone was there. Nothing was stolen,” he said.
Given the circumstances, Ndolo said that the killers could have been inside the house long before the killing.
Asked if the murder could be a case of business rivalry he said: “Most probably it was planned …what else could.”
The suspected motive is collaborated by a coincidence that close family members had travelled to India prior to the killing.
He was alone in the house with only his dogs, which were poised for company.
“Somebody was on a mission to kill. They were waiting for him in the house,” Ndolo said.
He had a gunshot wound in his head an nobody has been arrested in connection with the murder yet.
His body was taken to City mortuary pending postmortem. The murder is the latest on the controversial killings of the wealthy in the city.
