Detectives probing the death of City lawyer Karanja Kabage, which occurred on Friday night, have revealed that a sample of vomit recovered from the deceased’s car will aid the police with investigations.
According to the Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai, Mr Kabage was driving a black Land Cruiser VX along the Southern Bypass from Ole Sereni towards Kikuyu when the vehicle veered off the road.
Police disclosed that there was vomit inside Mr Kabage’s car before he later died in hospital.
Eye witness accounts revealed that the car “veered off to the wrong side of the road, slowed down, appeared to be making a U-turn” and then hit the pavement.
