Matangira was speeding in his father&#8217;s grey Ford Ranger Raptor when he encountered a slow-moving Toyota Vitz driven by Arnold Musengi, an off-duty soldier from the Special Air Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matangira allegedly blew his horn repeatedly and made aggressive maneuvers before overtaking the Vitz. That&#8217;s when things took a disturbing turn &#8211; he&#8217;s accused of pointing a gun, registered to his father, at Musengi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musengi didn&#8217;t back down, pursuing Matangira with the help of other motorists until they forced him to stop.
