Police Constable Jackson Kipkoech Konga has been sentenced to 30 years in prison by the Nakuru High Court for the murder of his superior, Sergeant Christopher Kimeli. The incident occurred on August 8, 2023, at the K9 Unit in Nakuru East Sub-County, following a heated altercation between the two officers.
During his testimony, Konga admitted that a confrontation had taken place that morning after Kimeli questioned his handling of two suspects brought to the K9 Unit during the night.
Konga, who had been assigned night sentry duties, said he was at Gate B when officers arrived with the suspects, who were allegedly involved in a theft case.
According to Konga, Sergeant Kimeli arrived at the gate for his routine inspection and instructed that the suspects be taken to the report office.
