Kenya has had many criminals, like Dan Gachui, whose daring bank heists was the reason the Kenyatta government declared ‘robbery with violence’ a capital offence.

Gachui, who was wanted for 10 robberies, a murder and relieving cops of their machine guns, was gunned down by fearless reservist Patrick Shaw in Nairobi’s South C estate in 1977.
