The police are on the hunt for one of their own this morning after he shot dead his commanding officer in Makueni on Wednesday night.

The fugitive policeman remains a threat as he fled the station with his service weapon.

The officer reportedly became agitated threatening to kill someone before he opened fire on the Deputy OCS and two of his colleagues as they approached him to inquire about what was the matter.

The two officers injured in the incident have been hospitalised with one nursing a shoulder injury at the Makueni referral hospital and another referred to the Moi Forces Referral Hospital with a leg wound
