Mmoja ambaye hufanya biashara ya kutembeza maji ameuawa na wengine watatu kujeruhiwa baada ya Askari wa Jeshi la Magereza kuwafyatulia risasi.
Inadaiwa kuwa watu hao walikuwa wakijaribu kumtorosha mtuhumiwa.
Hata hivyo Mmoja y Viongozi wa Gereza la Shimo la Tewa ametofautiana na sababu hiyo na kusema kuwa Maafisa wa Jeshi hilo wamekuwa wakiwadharilisha raia hasa katika vilabu vya pombe ya mnazi.

One person died and three others are nursing gunshot wounds after being shot at by prison officers in Mtwapa township on Thursday night.
Kilifi police boss Alexander Makau confirmed Maxwell Masota, 32, a water vendor at Kasani area in Mtwapa was killed during the incident.
According to Makau, Masota and other residents confronted the police officers who were on patrol at around 9pm.
They wanted to prevent the arrest of a suspect. Masota raised the alarm and within a short time, many other members of the public joined in confronting the officers and in the process Masota attempted to snatch the rifle of one of the officers to help the suspect to escape.
The officers, on sensing imminent danger, opened fire to scare the crowd baying for their blood and in the process fatally injured the suspect,†he said.
However, Shimo la tewa MCA Sammy Ndago said the officers had developed a habit of harassing members of the public, especially in mnazi drinking dens.
Speaking on the phone, Ndago said the five officers from Shimo la Tewa GK prison normally drink mnazi and refuse to pay.
They go ahead and threaten the sellers that they will shoot them. Yesterday, people got fed up with their habit and decided to confront them after they refused to pay, he said.
The MCA gave the Independent Policing and Oversight Authority seven days to investigate the matter or he will move to court.
John Ngoro, 42, was shot in the left leg, Geofrey Ngotho, 30 in the right leg and John Lesabugia, 40, was also shot in the right leg.
They are admitted at the Coast Provincial General Hospital.
Suspects Simon Otieno, Christopher Ochieng’, Michael Opondo and Dennis Ochieng’ have been arrested.
