Nominated Member of Parliament, David Ole Sankok, was for a second time questioned by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) over inconsistencies in statements issued by the family in relation to his son's death.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, May 5, Narok County DCI boss, Mwenda Ethaiba, stated that they were investigating a possible second gun involvement in the incident.
The police boss stated that preliminary investigations indicated that the gun they had earlier taken for ballistic analysis was possibly not the one used in the shooting incident.
Ethaiba stated that they will make public a comprehensive report on the progress of the investigations in under 24 hours.
“Unlike other rifles, a shotgun releases pellets. No bullet or cartridge was found,” he stated.
Additionally, police indicate that they will probe how the high school student accessed the gun reported to have been kept in a safe.
However, Bahati Member of Parliament, Kimani Ngunjiri, who is representing the family, urged Kenyans to desist from speculating about the incident until the police issue a conclusive report.
He also expressed fears that the incident would be politicised by the police over Sankok's political stand.
"We want to ask the police not to interfere in the case with politics because of his stand. We do not want politics and drama over this child shooting.
"There is a lot of propaganda when someone has died and we do not want that," he stated.
The 15-year-old high school student is alleged to have fatally shot himself in their home on May 2, after differences with his father over reporting back to Kericho High School.
At the time of the incident, Sankok is reported to have been holed up in a meeting with local leaders at a hotel in the county.
