A police constable has been arrested in connection with the murder of his colleague at the Wilson Airport.
The officer, Samson Morongo is currently behind bars after he murdered Constable Stephen Mkangi under unclear circumstances.
The officer later faked that the deceased has been killed by unknown attackers. The two officers were manning the airport before the incident occurred.
“Police Constable Samson MORONGO is in custody in connection with the MURDER of his colleague; Constable Stephen MKANGI whom he shot dead & later faked it on an attack by unknown killers. Forensic investigations by the #DCI have ruled that theory out & proved that it was Homicide,” DCI said in a tweet.
According to the DCI, a forensic test indicated that the officer was behind the murder. The officer was placed at the close proximity of the shooting incident.
The detectives are also carrying out more investigations to establish the motive behind the shooting incident before the case is heard in court.
“Upon carrying out Forensic Analysis,#DCI Detectives were able to connect the office to the murder-the suspect’s clothes were subjected to Gunshot Residue Test at the Government Chemist & it tested positive hence placing the suspect in very close proximity to the shooting scene,” added DCI.
