AP boss commits suicide by shooting self on the head

A police officer who was in charge of an armoury at the Kegogi AP post in Kisii County, committed suicide in an incident that has left family, friends and colleagues baffled.

The 32 year old AP boss had just received a letter of admission at Kisii University where he was to pursue a course in criminology and had been given permission by the AP force to pursue the said course.

Benard Mageto shot himself on the head and died on the spot.

He was in charge of the armoury and after all the police officers who were not on duty had handed in their guns in his house used one of them to commit the crime.

Jonh Manyara, Marani AP sub county commander said; “We met his girlfriend who told us he seemed to suffer from hallucinations. He was in charge of armoury and took one of the guns and committed suicide.”

The girlfriend said that she knew all was not well when she saw him opening the armoury. However, she escaped unhurt.

The reason behind his action still remains unknown.

His body was taken to Kisii Level Five hospital.
