A police officer in Nakuru County, Kenya, shot his
girlfriend dead before taking his life with the same AK47 rifle at their home
in Freehold Area.
CitizenTV reports that the police officer identified as
Stephen Mungai Kinuthia, who was stationed at Molo Police Station, shot his
girlfriend three times.
An eyewitness, who is also a watchman in the area told the
television station, “I was with the caretaker when we heard a man fighting with
the wife and the man was striking her with canes, and as we were going to help,
we heard gun shots and stayed put.”
Also speaking from the crime scene of the incident,
neighbors said they heard a child shouting “baba anaua mama!” meaning, ‘father
is killing mother’ before gun shots rent the air.
According to neighbours, the woman had only lived in the
apartment for two weeks and that the police officer was a frequent visitor.
The County’s police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Nakuru
OCPD, Joshua Omukatta, told the TV station that “police started a probe to
establish what transpired.
He further disclosed that “Their bodies have been taken to
Nakuru County government mortuary” as investigations continue.
