The Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji has defended the move to charge city lawyer Assa Nyakundi with murder saying new evidence suggests he directly shot his son in the chest.

The DPP also accused Nyakundi’s family of attempting to cover up the murder and doing everything to ensure the lawyer is not prosecuted for the death of his 29-year-old son Joseph Bogonko Nyakundi on March 17 at their Muthaiga home in Nairobi County.
