A police officer last night shot and killed his colleague before injuring his senior in an incident at a police camp in Meru County.
Constable Abel Chumba of Kaongo Kampio General Service Unit camp in Meru County is missing after the Tuesday night incident.
He ran away with his rifle loaded with at least 17 bullets and efforts to trace him were ongoing.
Chumba is accused of shooting and killing constable Pontianas Ikumoli, 22. He was shot in the head.
The injured officer was rushed to a local hospital and admitted there in stable condition.
He was injured in the left hand.
Police who visited the scene said they collected 13 spent cartridges.
This is the latest incident involving police officers who are increasingly either killing their colleagues, loved ones or dying by suicide.
