Administration Police Officer Shoots And Kills Wife In Kakamega

Police have launched a man hunt for an Administration Police Officer who allegedly shot and killed his wife on Thursday evening.

The woman, identified as Christine Mango, was a teacher at Navakholo Secondary School.

The murder has been linked to constant marriage wrangles the couple faced.

According to reports from area residents, the AP officer from Navakholo Police Station, in more than one instance, threatened to kill someone.

Western regional police boss Rashid Yakub, confirmed the incident on Friday, saying his officers had recovered a fire arm used in the killing.

“We managed to recover the Ceska pistol he used to commit the murder but we are yet to arrest him. We request anyone with information about his whereabouts to volunteer to the police,” Mr Yakubu said.
