MERU, Kenya, Jan 17-Police are investigating an incident in which a police officer who was on interdiction was found dead in Meru County.
He had in August 2020 shot his girlfriend six times following a disagreement outside Laare Police Station in Meru County.
The body of Constable David Nyamweya, who was attached to Mutuati Police Station in Igembe North was found floating in River Kathita, near Meru town, on Saturday.
His identity was revealed after crime scene investigators found an interdiction letter dated January 2, 2022, inside his pocket.
Police are, however, investigating whether it was suicide or he was killed and his body dumped in the river.
The officer was set to attend a police disciplinary hearing in March for misuse of a firearm following the shocking attack on Everlyne Njoki who luckily survived the August 22, 2020 shooting incident.
