A family was on Sunday thrown into mourning after a top lawyer in Nairobi shot and killed his son in their car in a macabre accident.
Mr Assa Nyakundi told police he was driving with his 29-year-old son Joseph when he accidentally shot him in the chest.
The two were driving in a salon and had arrived near their house in Muthaiga at about 1pm and stopped when Mr Nyakundi decided to change the position of his pistol in the car.
They had left ICC Church along Mombasa Road and were driving to their house in Muthaiga.
Nyakundi is a licensed gun holder and had a Glock pistol with 15 bullets with him at that time. He runs a law firm -Nyakundi and Company Advocates -in Nairobi.
Among those he represents in court include Nyeri Magistrate Pauline Chesang who has been charged with the murder of her husband and lawyer Robert Chesang. He is also representing a number of suspects in the National Youth Service Two case.
He told police that as he changed the pistol from a pouch in the car to a holster, it discharged a single bullet that hit his son in the chest.
