A man who survived the Kabete tragedy, where a Police Constable Benson Imbati shot dead 6 people before killing himself, has narrated how he cheated death.
Moses Mwea, 22, gave a blow by blow account of how he managed to save his life in a harrowing ordeal that left 7 people dead, including the wife of the cop.
The incident happened in the wee hours of Tuesday, December 7.
On the fateful day, Mwea narrates that he was taking a stroll with his friend when they came face to face with the gun-wielding cop.
According to him, his friend was the first to be shot. He says the killer cop hit him on the one side of the chest with the bullet exiting on the other end injuring him on his hand.
It is there that they scampered to safety but his friend was unable to run faster due to injuries he had sustained from the first shot.
"I then ran for safety, but when my friend tried to run, he was then shot on his chest. He did not have the running speed I had and was later shot on his head. That is how he died on the spot," Mwea recounted.
He revealed that he retreated back to a homestead where funeral activities were on course.
It was there that he was accommodated by mourners even as he breathed a sigh of relief for surviving the fatal ordeal.

According to new reports, the rogue officer was under the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) probe over the alleged murder of Nicholas Lifedi in mid this year.
One of his colleagues who spoke to the dailies stated that Imbatu committed the act of killing the six civilians and ending his life for fear of being implicated and sent to prison.
"Most officers dread going to prison. Imagine being in the same facility with people you put in," he stated.
The Killings have sparked a national debate over the mental health of administration police officers.
The Ministry of Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i called onto police officers to seek institutions to resolve their issues rather than perform the heinous act.
He then urged detectives to expedite the matter and provide the public with the results in three days.
"When a matter like this happens, the responsible thing to do is to come together, investigate the matter and find out what exactly happened," the CS stated.
