Former Special branch officer James Khwatenge gives a highlight on the life of the legendary police reservist, Patrick Shaw and a hit job that did not go as planned.
Patrick Shaw used street boys, also known as ‘Parking Boys,’ as spies in his network and he brought many into the Centre to be reformed. Besides using them to assist him in his police work and as spies, Shaw encouraged suitable students to enlist in the police, especially those who did not qualify for college.
These former students would become integrated into the Nairobi’s ‘Flying Police’ nicknamed ‘Mr Shaw’s Flying School,’ recalls one former Nairobi resident.
Involved in many extra-judicial shootings - he would shoot criminals on the spot.
It is difficult to estimate how many suspected gangsters Shaw gunned down. “Literally hundreds,” one acquaintance estimates. “At least one fatality a week.”
But it was obvious to Shaw’s friends and colleagues that in the last months of his life Shaw’s health was deteriorating. On 14 February 1988, while visiting the house of a friend named David Rowe, Shaw’s heart failed. It is said he was reading a paper when he stood up shouting and fell to his knees, his gun still in its holster. He was rushed to Nairobi Hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was 52.
