On Wednesday, Samson Khamari, a murder suspect went missing under unclear circumstances from Nakuru Central Police cells.
Khamari had pleaded guilty on November 18, 2018, for murdering Martin Mathea and was supposed to be sentenced on that particular day he disappeared.
On Thursday, the victim's family addressed the media outside the Nakuru Law Courts expressing distaste in the manner in which Khamari disappeared from police custody.
The family, led by Vincent Mathea, called on the police to come out clearly on how such an incident could occur.
Furthermore, Joyce Wanjiku, a sister to the late Mathea was shocked that the suspect charged with robbery with violence, and causing death went missing at the watch of the police.
The family also revealed that their lives were in danger since the convict knew and understood their residential place.
Nonetheless, they termed the incident as negligence on the side of the authorities, despite the police indicating that two officers who were on duty had been interdicted.
However, Nakuru Deputy OCPD Daniel Kitavi stated he had not received any information on the same.
The late Mathea was found dead in his house at Ngala Estate in Nakuru East Sub County.
Elsewhere on Tuesday, three members of the same family were allegedly shot by police officers as they were celebrating the New Year.
The incident allegedly took place at the victim's home in Mutitu village, Baringo, when officers from Muchongoi Police Station stormed the household.
The incident sparked anger from the residents who staged demonstrations at Kabel Shopping Centre accusing the officers of engaging in harassment and extortion from residents instead of cracking down on the criminal gangs in the area.
