Police constable Jackson Kipkoech Konga was sentenced to 30 years in prison on July 24, 2025, by a Nakuru court for the murder of his superior officer, Christopher Kimeli, at the Nakuru K9 Unit.
In delivering the ruling, Justice Julius Nangea acknowledged that Konga had been provoked, but emphasised that he shot his boss at close range, which warranted a severe penalty.
Family members welcomed the verdict, stating that justice had finally been served.
Their lawyer, Naomi Kirui, expressed her gratitude to the court for delivering justice within two years, a decision she said provided closure for the grieving family.
