Pakistani media outlet Dunya News has announced that where he worked before leaving the country in August, the body of well-known Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif, who was killed by Kenyan police on Sunday, is on its way home.
His body is expected to arrive in Islamabad later on Tuesday afternoon after a stopover in Doha, Qatar.
The journalist will be cremated on Thursday at a cemetery in Islamabad, his widow Jawaria Siddique is quoted as saying.
Mr Sharif was “fatally wounded” while he was a passenger in a moving vehicle after it failed to stop at a roadblock, according to the Kenya police.
Officers had set up the roadblock as they were looking for a stolen car.
