High Court Judge Reported As Missing By Wife Found Drunk Driving After Police Shot At His Car

A High Court judge escaped unhurt after his vehicle was shot at by police in Kileleshwa, Nairobi, on Sunday night.

Bomet Judge Martin Muya who had been reported missing on Monday luckily escaped unhurt after police shot at his car in an attempt to disable the vehicle. This was after his wife reported him missing to the police claiming she suspected that he had been carjacked.

Muya had called his wife Haurellia Mbulwa, 56 at about 10pm Monday to say he would be home shortly but would never show. This was unlike her husband, she anxiously waited for the judge until about 4.30am Monday and after her calls went unanswered she decided to drive to Kilimani Police Station and filed a formal report.

Their son, Benjamin Mati, who had been monitoring the car through a tracking system, further reported that the car was moving suspiciously between Kileleshwa, Kabete and Lavington.

Details of the vehicle were then circulated and police on patrol ordered to intercept it. “The vehicle was circulated and last spotted at Kileleshwa area where by police shot at the right tyre and deflated it which forced the vehicle to stop. Onboard was only the husband who was very drunk…,” the police report states.

Police established that the driver was Bomet Judge Martin Muya who denied the allegations that he had been carjacked.

Interestingly the intoxicated judge who was clearly DUI was driven to his residence after his wife arrived at the scene and his vehicle later towed to Kilimani Police Station.

No one was injured during the incident.
