Arshad Sharif was murdered early morning on Monday when the Kenyan police in Nairobi shot him dead in the head allegedly for not stopping at a police checkpoint. While many people, including journalists, are of the opinion that Sharif was ‘murdered’ in a deliberate attack, the Kenyan police claims that the journalist was shot by the police in a case of ‘mistaken identity’.
