Bizarre! Policeman Kills Wife, Five Others, Including Himself With AK47
A Kenyan police officer went on a rampage in Nairobi Tuesday with an AK 47,
shooting six people dead, including his wife and then capped his madness by
killing himself.
According to the police report, the officer Benson Imbatu first shot and killed his wife at their home. He shot her in the neck.
He then set off with his service-issued AK-47 rifle to shoot dead another five people, police said in a report.
They did not say what had caused the rampage, which happened early Tuesday morning.
“The officer … went on a shooting spree where he shot and killed five people including two boda boda (motorcycle) riders one who died while undergoing treatment,” police said in the report.
Francis Wahome, the officer in charge of Nairobi’s Dagoretti area, confirmed the incident and the death toll but and gave no other details.
Two other people sustained gunshot injuries and are undergoing treatment at Kenyatta National Hospital.
The firearm was recovered alongside four bullets and four empty cartridges.
Angry residents near where the incident took place later set fire to tires on a road in a protest against the violence, a Reuters witness said.
