High school teachers in Kericho county on Tuesday were on a rampage to demonstrate against the unresolved murder of their colleague.
Anti-riot police officers in Litein Bureti constituency shot in the air and lobbed teargas to disperse them after they went rampant on what they claimed as seeking justice for one of their own.
Police officers who were under the command of Bureti OCPD Mohammed Ali cornered and forcefully dispersed the teachers who were being led by Kenya Union of Post Primary Education (Kuppet) acting national deputy chairman Julius Korir and Kericho branch executive Julius Mibei.
The teachers who were matching towards Litein town were protesting the slow pace of investigations into the death of former Cheborgei high school teacher Willy Sang and his wife Eveline.
The couple were murdered in cold blood in July 21. The Director of Criminal Investigation George Kinoti dispatched a team of homicide officers but to-date the case is yet to be resolved.
There are a series of murder cases also going on which are not yet to be resolved.
Over the past recent months, several murder cases have been witnessed, among them being that of a Rongo University Student Sharon Otieno and that of a business woman Monica Kimani Nyawera.
The suspects have hence been arrested and are being detained in court as probe into the cases still goes on.
Monica and Sharon’s murder case suspects will again be arraigned in court tomorrow for a hearing into their bail application.
