Police officer mistakenly shoots colleague dead

A policewoman has died after she was mistakenly shot by her colleague in Mukumu village in Kakamega County.

According to residents, the two police officers were on duty and had gone to Mukumu to arrest a suspect who had allegedly assaulted his father.

On arrival, the suspect attacked the two police officers with a machete and in the process of neutralizing the suspect, the policeman shot his colleague by mistake.

Some residents, however, claim that there was ill intention in the shooting alleging that the officers might have been in a row over bribes they both collected from bodaboda operators in the area

The area’s administration police commander has however refuted the claims, saying the policewoman was shot while trying to make an arrest.
