KENYAN police said on Friday they are following up clues in the murder of a member of parliament in Nairobi as it emerged that robbery was unlikely to have motivated the killing. Tony Ndilinge, MP for the ruling Kenya African National Union (Kanu) party representing Kilome constituency in the southern Makueni district, was killed on Thursday in the eastern Nairobi suburb of Githurai. Police initially reported that the killers were suspected carjackers, but the MP’s car was later found abandoned in another suburb of Nairobi. No arrests have made been so far, said police spokesman Peter Kimanthi. Ndilinge (47) was shot twice through the head and his body abandoned by the roadside. Local newspapers quoted another police officer as saying that Ndilinge, himself a former policeman, appeared to have been shot by someone who was riding in the MP’s car. Cash, cheques and other personal belongings were still in his pockets when the body was found. – AFP
