68 views

Controversial killer cop Ahmed Rashid who has run the most feared police squads for years is finally set to face murder charges.

This was after the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) chairperson Ann Makori said that Ahmed would be charged with the murder of Jamal Mohamed and Mohammed Kheri.

The two were fatally shot on March 31st, 2017 even though they were unarmed. Because of suspicion that they were engaging in crime within the Eastleigh area.

In 2017, Rashid was caught on camera shooting at two unarmed men in Eastleigh. The video that went viral on social media showed a plainclothes police officer shooting at the two as a shocked crowd watched on.

The officer pumped bullets into one of his victims, a young boy, then got another gun from his colleague and sprayed an additional four bullets on the helpless man who was already on the ground.

In the last five years, investigations into their killing have been delayed even though it was crystal clear that they were killed by officers based at Pangani Police Station. The Authority said it established that the fatalities were occasioned by police action.

The Independent Policing Oversight Authority concluded the investigation into the deaths of Mr. Jamal Mohamed and Mr. Mohamed Dahir Kheri following a shooting which occurred at Eastleigh, Nairobi County and established that the fatalities were occasioned by police action,” said Ms Makori.

Guided by Section 29 (a) of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority Act, the findings were forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions with the recommendation to charge the Corporal Ahmed Rashid, with murder,” said the IPOA chair.

When questioned later by BBC journalists who came to Nairobi to cover him, he openly admitted to killing suspects saying, “Those we profile, we have to get them alive or dead.”
