Fugitive killer cop Caroline Kangogo has been found dead.

 Rift Valley Regional Commissioner George Natembeya confirmed the news stating that Kangogo died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head at her parents’ home in Anin, Elgeyo Marakwet.

Kangogo was wanted by detectives for the murder of Nakuru-based cop John Ongweno whom she is alleged to have shot dead on Monday, July 5, and fled to Juja where she allegedly killed Peter Ndwiga, a security expert in a hotel room.

Police officers alerted about the matter rushed to the home where a gun believed to have been used in the murder of the two was recovered.

It's not clear whether she made  communication to any family member before killing herself.

Detectives have since moved her body to Iten Funeral home. 

On Monday, County Secretary Paul Chemmuttut released a circular stating that all services that the county provides will be halted for an unspecified period.

Chemmuttut said, “Due to the recent surge in Covid-19 spread, it is hereby notified to the general public that there shall be total lockdown of County offices effective March 22,2021.” 

According to him, the decision came about from the observation that locals were crowding the Public Works, Treasury and Procurement departments thereby exposing themselves and county staff to great risk of spreading or contracting the disease.

Reportedly, some Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) and staff who had travelled outside the county showed flu-like symptoms.

County Assembly Speaker Philemon Sabulei pointed out that the lockdown was a cautionary measure even though none of the MCAs or staff members had been tested and confirmed positive. 

“At the moment, the assembly is a no-go zone, and we are fumigating the place. It will be opened early next month. We did not want to take any chances,” said Sabulei.

Therefore, residents have been urged to seek alternative channels of communication to receive services while elderly staff will be working from home. 

Elgeyo Marakwet County is the first to shut down services amid a growing third wave of Covid-19 infections. Reportedly, most counties are ill-equipped to handle Covid-19 patients. 

Nairobi and Mombasa lead all the 47 counties in the number of reported cases of the coronavirus.

The three are charged with raiding the woman's chang'aa den trying to arrest her.

Gladys Jebet Kiptoo, who was fleeing her home, drowned in a river on April 30, 2020.

According to officials, the case is unique and it should serve as a warning to the law enforcement agencies.

The local police opened an inquest and collected witness statements which they forwarded to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) for action.

On February 3, 2021, the ODPP recommended that constables Nelson Kemboi, Kennedy Bii and Eric Magoma be charged with manslaughter contrary to section 202 as read with section 205 of the penal code.

The three officers await arraignment as they are under arrest. 

According to Section 213 of the Penal Code, Laws of Kenya, a person is deemed to have caused the death of another person if by actual or threatened violence he causes that person to perform an act and which causes the death of such person.

Commonly, in public places people are injured or at times die whenever law enforcement agencies raid in an operation.
