Five police officers were ordered to serve a three-month imprisonment or pay a fine of Ksh10,000 each after failing to honour court summons to testify against police officer Ahmed Rashid, who was involved in a fatal shooting.
The punishment was ordered during the hearing of the case at the High Court in Kibera, in which a Pangani police officer is accused of fatally shooting two young men in Eastleigh in 2017.
Of the six police officers lined up to testify, only one showed up, while the other five skipped.
Prosecutor Christine Timoi informed the court that one of the five had arrived at the courthouse before proceedings began and told her that his colleagues had refused to testify and then disappeared.
