There was grief and wailing at Vikwatani Redeemed Gospel Church Sunday morning after the congregation found that their senior pastor had been killed by a gunshot.
Pastor Charles Matole was shot dead by unknown attackers at night but neighbours say they did not hear any commotion.
At the church, the congregation turned mourners could not hold back their tears as they tuned to prayers that cursed the evil that had befallen their holy sanctuary.
The church choir member Mr Morris Ali who was in a container practicing the keyboard when he was called to see the slain pastor said he was on a seat while holding the bible.
“When we came closer to him at the seat, we noticed blood was oozing from the head an indication that something had hit and penetrated the skull,” he said.
Upon calling the neighbours, he said they were told that at about midnight there was a gunshot that they never heard.
“It is a shock to us, I did not suspect that a bullet could be fired in church to halt today’s service and kill the cleric,”he said.
Asked whether, the cleric life was under threat, Mr Ali said two months ago he revealed to the church that an unknown person had warned him through a text message (SMS) that he should be cautious of his life.
