Police in Mikinduri, Tigania Central, are investigating the death of a senior police officer at his lover’s house on Saturday, June 25.
Senior Sergeant Moses Gakula is said to have been drinking with the woman who works in a salon as an hairdresser at Kiolo market on Friday night before he was discovered dead on her bed.
Police said Mr Gakula’s friend, Karuti Nchebere, received a call from the distraught woman that the officer appeared sick and needed urgent medical attention.
However, when Nchebere and a relative of the police officer arrived at the house, they discovered that the officer had died.
“He was well and was drinking with people when he started sweating profusely before he was taken to the friend’s house. He was found dead the following morning,” the police report read in parts.
The officer, who was based at Ankamia police post, was lying in bed in his full police uniform and had some medicine in his pocket.

“Gakula had blood pressure and had been given transfer to Ankamia Police Post. This was near his home,” Chepkwony said.
