Senior cop charged with killing university student released on bond

A top ranking police officer who is alleged to have shot and killed a university student has been released on bond.

Sebastian Ambani was arrested two weeks ago in connection to the death of Brian Chacha.

The accused is the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) at Kehancha Police Station.

Appearing before the High Court Judge Fred Ochieng on Thursday, Ambani was released on Ksh.500, 000 bond and two sureties of the same amount.

Justice Ochieng also ordered the accused to refrain from making any contact with the witnesses, directly or indirectly, including the family of the deceased.

This is after the prosecutor, Gloria Baraza, raised concerns about reports that the accused was threatening some witnesses lined up to testify in the case.

The hearing of the case is set to begin on September 4, 2018.

The accused was said to have shot dead the university student at a chang’aa den in Mamboleo market a week prior to his arrest.
