The officers have maintained that the shooting was a case of mistaken identity, claiming the vehicle carrying Sharif matched the description of one linked to a criminal incident.
However, Sharif’s widow has rejected that explanation, arguing that the circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unresolved and calling for those responsible to be held accountable.
The incident sparked widespread demands for an independent and comprehensive investigation into the journalist’s death.
Sharif, a renowned investigative journalist from Pakistan, had travelled to Kenya before he was killed.
The Supreme Court’s ruling is expected to bring the long-running legal battle closer to its conclusion.
