Probe on after fatal shooting of Kenyan-French national recorded as alleged suicide

Detectives in Nairobi are probing the mysterious circumstances surrounding a fatal shooting in Karen’s Hardy neighborhood, where a 58-year-old Kenyan-French national was found dead in an incident officially recorded as a suspected suicide.

While initial police logs entry at the Hardy Police Station categorise the matter as a suspected suicide, the specific details recovered from the affluent Mukoma Road residence have raised unusual questions for investigators.

Officers responding to an emergency call on Sunday afternoon discovered the body of Georges Pierre Samuel Roomoguere in a lower bedroom, lying in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to the head alongside an unexplained scratch on the left side of his stomach.

Adding to the strange nature of the scene, crime scene investigators recovered a high-capacity Glock 17 pistol still loaded with 14 rounds of ammunition, alongside two extra magazines packed with 30 additional rounds, and only a single spent cartridge.

The presence of such a heavily loaded weapon and the nature of the physical trauma have prompted the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Karen to treat the case with high priority, pending investigation.

The body has since been moved to Lee Funeral Home for a comprehensive autopsy, which forensic teams hope will definitively clarify whether the fatal trajectory aligns with self-inflicted injuries or points to something more sinister.
