For going beyond his threat to kill another man by cutting his flesh in pieces and assaulting a Law Enforcement Officer, Police officials in Kenya have arrested a suspect, Amar Dilip Shah, in Nairobi’s Westlands area.
Before he was arrested, he was said to have resisted and attacked an Officer of the law.
This was revealed in a statement by the Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), and made available to Security Watch Africa (SWA) on Monday.
It said “A man who threatened to kill another and cut him into small pieces of flesh had been arrested by serious crimes detectives.
“Amar Dilip Shah, was arrested along General Mathenge Street in Nairobi’s Westlands area, where he also caused a scene after resisting arrest and attacked the arresting Officer.
“What followed was a scuffle as the unruly suspect attempted to throw kicks and punches at the detective Inspector of Police.
“But the Officer who is also a martial arts specialist employed a few calculated tactical moves and subdued the man.”
It added “The suspect is currently a guest of the State at a Police station within the city, facing charges of threatening to kill contrary to section 223 (1) of the Penal Code.”
The statement also advised members of the public that “assaulting a Police Officer, resisting or willfully obstructing a Police Officer in the due of execution of his duties attracts a fine not exceeding Sh1million or imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years, or both.”
