Police shot dead three suspected carjackers and recovered two pistols with six bullets on Wednesday in Nairobi.
The three were gunned down following a carjacking incident on Kangundo road. Police said that the owner of the car, a female, was unhurt as police rescued her.
The four suspected criminals, they said, had taken the woman hostage before a member of the public tipped off the police. The fourth suspect escaped on foot after the incident.
