An officer from the Nakuru Police Station has been arrested after allegedly shooting dead his supervisor.
While confirming the incident that occurred on Tuesday, August 8, Nakuru Police Commander Samuel Ndanyi stated that the two worked together at the Dog Section Unit.
The constable identified only as Konga shot Sergeant Kimeli on Monday evening under unclear circumstances.
Kimeli is said to have been on duty with Konga during the day before the sergeant signed off duty to go and pick up his child from school. He was shot while off duty.
“The cause of the shooting is not yet known and we are yet to establish what transpired that led Constable Konga to shoot his supervisor,” Ndanyi said.
When the officer realised the gravity of the situation and the potential consequences, he immediately fled into hiding.
His colleagues, on the other hand, immediately launched a manhunt and tracked him down using leads and tips from members of the public.
Ndanyi confirmed that the wanted officer was arrested and detained at the Nakuru Central Police Station pending preferment of charges and arraignment in court.
