Detectives drawn from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Thursday evening cordoned off a section of Kaunda Street in Nairobi in a bid to establish where a National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) staffer was shot from.

The officers who included ballistic and forensic experts accessed the roof of one of the buildings and also took footage of CCTV cameras from nearby buildings as they try to resolve the murder which left shock among the deceased's family and the general public.

Detectives have since ruled out the possibility of Waithera having been a victim of an accidental shooting saying her death was a planned assassination.

Investigators ruled that Waithera was shot from one of the buildings in the busy street, with investigations now pursuing the motive behind her assassination.
