According to the police, Barasa was accosted at the gate by a three-man armed gang as she entered her new home at Ololua in Ngong before being led into the house where they held her family hostage.
“When they entered her home, the family said the armed robbers demanded money from the family and also took away electronic gadgets.
“They ransacked the house but only found laptops and a few other electronics” police said.
Barasa’s family said, the three men had been waiting for her to arrive and two of them were armed with AK47 rifles.
As she drove in, they forced their way in, prompting the house help, who had gone to open the gate, to run into the darkness as she screamed to raise alarm.
The gang then followed the Basara up to where she had parked and ordered her out before leading her into the house at gunpoint.
The robbers escorted her to the house where her husband and children were before one of them took her upstairs.
After a few minutes, her children and husband, who had at this point been taken to different rooms, heard two gunshots.
