A Kenya Prisons Constable shot himself dead after killing an Administration Police (AP) Corporal at Mwea GK Prisons senior staff quarters on Sunday night.
The prison Warder, Constable Kering Kipkosgei, had visited the house of his girlfriend, Sergeant Esther Muthoni Mwangi, but as they were having supper, the AP who is the former husband to Sgt Muthoni stormed the house and demanded to know what the warder was doing in the house.
The AP officer has been identified as Corporal Boniface Mithamo Ngaragari of AP's Critical Infrastructure Police Unit (CIPU) in Kianyaga.
