Kenyan report finds Arshad Sharif killed in mistaken identity chase.

ISLAMABAD -- In the latest development in the Arshad Sharif murder case, the report released by the Kenyan authorities revealed that the deceased anchorperson was killed due to mistaken identity case.

As per the report, Arshad Sharif was killed by four members of the para-military General Service Unit (GSU) when his driver, Khurram Ahmed - Waqar Ahmed's brother - did not stop the car at the checkpoint.

The journalist was on his way from Waqar Ahmed's hilly and remote AmmoDump shooting range towards Central Nairobi where he lived in Waqar Ahmed's flat.

He was going to Waqar Ahmed flat in the Central Nairobi when that fateful incident occurred.

The report confirmed the original police point of view that the four officers sprayed the car with bullets when the driver did not stop the car and is was added that the four cops were not intoxicated.

However, the report refuted the original stance of the police that firing shots were fired from inside the car. It said no shot was fired from the car and added the one officer who got injured was because of the firing of a fellow police officer.

The official report mentioned two GSU officers used excessive force by opening fire recklessly and therefore should be prosecuted. According to Kenya's Penal Code, anyone involved in the excessive use of force could be sentenced to life. It's understood that the recommendations have been passed to Kenya's prosecution service but no decision has been made yet on the prosecution and charges. The official report also insists that Arshad Sharif was not tortured before or after the murder.

The chairperson of Kenya's Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) said that Arshad Sharif's murder at the hands of Kenya's police was being thoroughly investigated to establish the facts surrounding the shooting and that 'full and thorough investigation to establish the circumstances surrounding the shooting' would be determined soon.

But neither the Kenyan govt nor the IPOA released the results of their investigation in five months. The source said that the Kenya govt completed its investigation over two months ago but the report was not made public.

The report agrees almost verbatim with the original police version which had denied any murder planning or being part of a conspiracy to murder - relying on the "mistaken identity" position from the start.

According to the police, Sharif was shot dead in a pure case of mistaken identity after businessman Douglas Wainaina...
