A police officer attached to the Interior ministry allegedly shot his wife dead and then killed himself.
According to Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai the bodies of Police Constable Hudson Wakise and his wife Police Constable Pauline Wakasa were found in their home.
It has also been reported that Wakise was attached to the VIP protection of Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i while Wakasa was a traffic officer attached to Kilimani Police Station.
According to preliminary investigations, the two are likely to have been in a domestic altercation that occurred Tuesday evening.

Following the incident, CS Matiang’I has sent a message of condolence to the families of the two officers.
