A tragic incident unfolded on Tuesday evening at Nairobi’s Parklands area when Sagar Panara, a 36-year-old man of Asian descent, was fatally shot in what police believe to be a premeditated attack. Panara, a former employee of MART Networks, was ambushed while driving home from the Aga Khan Sports Club in his white Toyota Corolla.
Authorities suspect that the assailants followed Panara from the club and attacked him at the entrance of his residence. Neighbors and police report that the gunmen struck as Panara arrived home, leaving little chance for escape.
Following the attack, Panara was immediately rushed to Aga Khan Hospital by police responding to the scene. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of medical professionals, he succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment.
Chilling Message Left at the Scene
At the crime scene, police discovered six leaflets left by the attackers, each carrying a chilling message:
“VACATE NAROK LAND, ONE PANARA DOWN, AND NAROK.”
This cryptic note has led authorities to suspect that the attack may be tied to a land dispute in Narok, potentially providing a motive for the fatal shooting.
Ongoing Investigation into Land Dispute Motive
Investigators are now working to determine if Panara’s family has any ties to the land in Narok and whether these connections could have provoked the violent attack. Authorities are pursuing multiple leads to uncover more details about the incident and to bring those responsible to justice.
As the investigation unfolds, the community remains shocked and shaken by the violent nature of the attack. Further updates are expected as law enforcement delves deeper into the possible motive behind this tragic killing.
