A witness told has narrated to the police how a cop based in Kabete shot six people dead on Tuesday at 3:00 am.

A security manager of Makini Security Services, Purity Cheruiyot, has recounted how she received a call from one of her security guards at J Heights apartments, informing her of the incident.

“I was called by one of my juniors deployed at the apartments, who told me that there was a loud bang coming from one of the houses followed by a huge fire,” said Purity.

The security manager who immediately alerted police officers based at Kabete police station also rushed to the scene where the lifeless body of a woman only identified as Carol was found.

Police Constable Benson Imbasi, who later committed suicide by turning the gun on himself, had first killed his wife by shooting her in the neck, before he walked out of his house and started shooting at innocent members of the public, killing five of them.

Together with her colleagues, Cheruiyot rushed the two injured boda boda riders to Eagle Hospital in Kangemi, where they received first aid before they were later transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital for specialized treatment.

The AK-47 assault riffle issued to the officer was also recovered, loaded with four rounds of ammunition.

Investigations into the sad incident have been launched.
