Kenyan police officer shoots dead his boss after being reprimanded for reporting to work late and drunk?
He took offence when the officer in charge of the camp, Senior Sergeant Ayub Onyango Polo, reprimanded him for his lateness.
“The suspect came to the camp drunk and got angry when he was questioned for his behaviour by his senior,” Naivasha Deputy County Commissioner Kisilu Mutua said.
The officer is said to have shot his boss five times, killing him instantly. At the scene, police recovered five 7.62mm spent cartridges.
According to Mr Mutua, the suspect fled the scene immediately after the incident, with police pursuing him.
“The suspect is armed but we are doing all we can to apprehended him,” Mr Mutua said.
The officers drawn from the administration police unit were stationed at the privately owned farm with a different command structure.
Senior officers, led by the sub county police commander Samuel Waweru and DCI boss Adan Hassan, visited the scene on Sunday morning.
“They are leading the team that is conducting investigations following the shooting incident,” added Mr Mutua.
The slain officer’s body was later taken to a private mortuary in Maai Mahiu awaiting postmortem.
