A senior lawyer of the court was found dead after he was accidentally crushed by his car outside the Kajiado Law Courts.
The body of Lawyer James Onchiri Nyaata was found under his car with visible head injuries, witnesses said of the October 21 night incident.
Preliminary investigations show that he was last seen in a bar opposite the Kajiado Law courts.
This prompted an investigation.
Police said they revisited the scene and reviewed CCTV footage that captured the moments leading to the death on October 21.
The footage shows that the Nyaata was seen drinking in a bar next to the Judiciary.
At around 21:26 pm the deceased person was seen being assisted by three people who placed him next to his vehicle at the rear side.
He was left with his messenger who was supposed to take him home. Unfortunately as per the CCTV footage, the said messenger was seen entering the deceased motor vehicle and reversed, running over the deceased.
The driver left him trapped under the said motor vehicle having been stepped on by the left rear tyre.
According to the police the messenger, having realised that he had run over the deceased person, he disappeared from the scene without reporting the matter to the police.
He was later arrested alongside the other four people who were with the advocate at the bar.
Police produced them in court and sought custodial orders to be remanded within Kajiado police station to assist investigations.
This settled earlier fears the advocate was murdered.
He practiced in Kajiado.
The body is lying in mortuary.
