The inquest into the death of a Nairobi businessman’s driver
who was burnt alive in his car has been closed.
This is after the court ruled that the inquest is
inconclusive due to lack of proper investigations and phone data records among
others.
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had ordered the
inquest after James Kiarie was burnt in Nairobi businessman Ashok Shah’s car in
May 2010.
The court was told that three men broke the car’s windows,
poured petrol and set it on fire.
In his ruling, Makadara Law Court Senior Magistrate, William
Oketch, ruled that the inquiry into who killed the said driver failed to point
out the killers.
However, the court noted that the killers will not escape
God’s justice.
Further, the court directed the inquest file be forwarded to
the Director of Public Prosecution and be closed.
The allegations and assertions that Ashok Shah’s former
business partner, Hiten Raja, was involved in the attack was dismissed.
