In a tragic incident, an Administration Police officer instilled more than fear in citizens when he opened fire towards his girlfriend firing at the woman 16 times.
The officer is attached to Kipkonyo Chief’s camp in Moi Ndabi.
Naivasha deputy county commissioner John Opondo said the woman was admitted to Naivasha Subcounty Hospital and was in critical condition.
“After shooting the girlfriend, the officer went back to the camp and shot himself dead. An inquest file has been opened,” Opondo said.
Witness Saul Kimani said the officer appeared drunk. He confronted the woman who operates an M-Pesa shop and an argument ensued.
“He shot at the woman 19 times with three bullets hitting her on the hips,” Kimani said.
He said the officer returned to the camp where he shot himself on the head and died on the spot
Police officer kills girlfriend in Naivasha then takes away his own life, falling for a police officer is riskier than digging gold in Migori

He shot her 19 times before killing himself. That is a police officer in Naivasha. The police need regular counseling on how to handle pressure and stress! With the gun, they literally carry both “life” and “death”!
