Kenya: “Rogue cop” goes on shooting spree
Five people have been gunned down by a police officer in an overnight rampage in Kenya
The officer first killed his wife in their home, shooting her in the neck, before setting off at 3am with his service-issued AK-47 rifle and starting to shoot at “innocent members of the public frenziedly”, the police Directorate of Criminal Investigations said on Tuesday.
The officer then shot and killed himself as nearby residents set fire to tyres in a protest against the violence.
It follows a 2010 incident, where a police officer shot 10 people dead including two of his colleagues.
Investigations are continuing into the matter.
