Meanwhile, boda boda riders in Thika staged protests demanding justice for their slain colleagues. They accused police officers of impunity and heavy-handedness, calling for accountability in the case.
The wreckage of the burnt Audi was later towed to Makongeni Police Station. Police say they are focusing on identifying riders behind violent acts but also promised transparency in handling Sunday's fatal shooting.
The incident has once again highlighted the strained relationship between boda boda riders and law enforcement, even as reforms in the sector continue to face resistance.
