A killer cop Aden Boru Golicha is set to be arraigned and charged at the Garissa law courts following a ruling by a Mandera court on Friday.
Aden is accused of firing to death Mr Ali Yussuf Adan at the outskirts of Mandera town under unclear circumstances.
The criminal police officer is said to have commited the crime on 15 October 2015.
He was arrested on Wednesday last week in Garissa.
According to a sworn affidavit by an investigating officer Meshack Mumo, Aden Boru will have to spend five days at the police custody as he completes his investigations into the matter.
According to a different source privy to the matter, the issue had been left at the hands of community elders who have since handed the matter to the security agencies following a request from the bereaved family.
"Locals here usually involve the community elders in such matters. But for this one, the family of the deceased decided to involve security agencies after the elders took a very long time to handle the issue," hinted a source from the family of Mr Yusuf Adan.
