The scene was processed and documented by crime scene investigators from Kwale.
Police further established that the suspect’s alien registration status expired on June 12, 2025, raising additional concerns over his stay in the country.
The suspect and the recovered exhibits were escorted to Diani Police Station and placed in lawful custody.
He was expected to be charged with threatening to kill and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition without a valid civilian firearm certificate.
