A General Service Unit (GSU) officer attached to former Shinyalu MPJustus Kizito has admitted killing his cousin saying he did so in self-defence.
Police constable Ezekiel Lekakeny who was on self defense before the high court had been charged with murder of Francis Koin on the night of July 20, 2012 at Oleshapa village within Narok County.
Appearing before Justice Maureen Odero on Thursday, Mr Lekakeny told the court the deceased who is a former military man had called him to a local bar on the fateful night and started quarreling with him before they left to go home.
He told the court that his cousin removed a knife from his side pocket and aimed at him .He added that he tried to shoot him on his arm but miscalculated and shot him on the chest dying on the spot.
"The deceased removed a knife from his pocket and aimed at me but it was difficult for me to disarm him considering his training and on trying to shoot the arm i shot him on the chest where he died on the spot," said Lekakeny.
The accused who has since been interdicted by the service said that he was remorseful for his actions adding that he surrendered to the police willingly after incident.
Justice Odero in his ruling directed that both parties file their final submission and appear before court on November 21.
