A two-person inquiry committee that was formed to look into the murder of renowned journalist and former ARY News anchor Arshad Sharif met with representatives from the Kenyan Crime Investigation Department (CID).
ARSHAD SHARIF MURDER: KENYAN CID MEETS THE INVESTIGATION TEAM
To learn more about their position about the murder of a senior Pakistani journalist in Nairobi, the team met with Kenyan CID officers.
The team also went to the location of the incident and looked over the car that the dead journalist was riding in when he was killed.
Previously, sources claimed that Waqar and Khurram Ahmed had been questioned by the investigative team over the murder of Arshad Sharif. A murdered journalist was staying with the Ahmed brothers in Kenya.
Sources claim that Arshad Sharif’s hosts in Kenya, Khurram and Waqar Ahmed, described the shooting event as a “misidentification.” Waqar Ahmed admitted to the investigation team that he invited Arshad Sharif at the request of a friend and ruled out Salman Iqbal, president and CEO of ARY Digital Network, as the source of the request.
In self-exile, the senior journalist and former ARY News anchor was assassinated on October 23 in Nairobi, Kenya.
After Arshad Sharif’s post-mortem and return to his home country, Kenyan police initially claimed that the veteran journalist was killed in a “mistaken identity” incident. However, several Kenyan news outlets have since questioned both the police’s actions and the circumstances surrounding Sharif’s death.
