Arshad Sharif killing: Kenyan authorities 'answerable'

The widow of Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif, who was shot dead by police on Sunday near Kenya's capital, Nairobi, says the authorities in the East African country are "answerable" to his family.

The Kenyan police said officers manning a roadblock mistook Mr Sharif and his brother for kidnappers.

Pakistan's ambassador to Kenya told local journalists that a post-mortem showed Mr Sharif was shot between his shoulder and his head.

In a tweet, Sharif's wife Javeria Siddique said "authorities in Kenya are answerable to us". She also shared pictures of her husband's body arriving in Pakistan.
