New details emerged that led to the arrest of a General Service Unit (GSU) officer attached to the Wilson airport for the murder of his colleague.
DCI detectives arrested Police Constable Samson Morongo after it emerged he killed Constable Stephen Mkangi and then falsified the report.
The initial report was that the two officers who are attached to the GSU were at the Wilson Airport watchtower on July 27, 2019, when they received a distress call.
When they responded, two unknown gunmen in camouflage police uniform approached them and snatched their AK47 Rifles loaded with 30 rounds of ammunition before shooting them, killing Mkangi.
"The DCI has ruled that theory out and proved that it was a homicide," a statement by DCI director George Kinoti confirmed.
The DCI further revealed that after killing his colleague Morongo, went ahead to make a report that they had been attacked by unknown people who killed his colleague and took their firearms.
Daily Nation revealed that upon carrying out forensic analysis, DCI detectives were able to connect the officer to the murder.
"The suspect’s clothes were subjected to Gunshot Residue Test at the Government Chemist and tested positive, hence placing the suspect in close proximity to the scene," Kinoti added.
The initial incident had been confirmed by Lang'ata OCPD Gregory Mutiso who also revealed that the police had launched investigations.
Two spent cartridges, an empty butt and two magazines with 60 bullets were recovered from the scene.
