The shotgun believed to have been used in the suicide is currently undergoing ballistic testing at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) laboratory in Nairobi, as well as a Ceska pistol revealed to be owned by the same MP.
According to preliminary investigations and discussions with Sankok's family, the student killed himself with a shotgun. However, a postmortem on the boy's body has debunked this notion, with investigators believing that the length of a shotgun makes it difficult to shoot oneself in the chin.
“Unless it was redesigned, it is hard for a 15-year-old boy to operate the shotgun. It has a long handle,” said an officer on the investigations
As a result, investigators are awaiting the ballistic examinations on the two fire guns to determine which one was used in the suicide.
Narok County DCI boss Mwenda Ethaiba said they had confirmed Sankok is a licensed firearm holder.
“The weapons were legally held by the MP. They are now under examination,” he said.
Memusi Sankok, the MP's 15-year-old son, allegedly shot himself on Monday after a fight with his father about his refusal to attend school.
At around 3 p.m. on Monday, the child allegedly took keys to his parents’ bedroom from his mother's handbag. He then shot himself after opening a safe in the legislator's bedroom, where he kept his firearms.
More questions are being raised as, according to sources familiar with the probe, officers attempted to record further interviews after noticing apparent contradictions in previous statements.
