Two criminals were shot dead by the police in Kilimani last night. A car-jacking attempt by two armed men turned fatal after police responding to victims' distress call shot the two in a shootout. Armed with a Russian-made pistol and two other handguns, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations said the criminals subdued a taxi driver and his client at Chania Avenue. Four mobile phones, including the two stolen from the victims, were recovered alongside the three guns as well as six bullets. After the 10pm incident, the victims were escorted to safety as the bodies of the criminals were taken to a city morgue pending identification.
