A police officer in a police camp in Maralal on Saturday night shot dead his boss, following disagreements.
The reason behind their disagreement is yet to be established, according to Samburu County police commander Karanja Muiruri, who confirmed the incident.
However, sources say that the police officer was furious after he was transferred from a construction site where he was working.
The officer is said to have stormed the police camp and opened fire on his boss killing him instantly.
He was arrested and disarmed, and will be arraigned once police complete investigations.
The body of the victim was taken to Samburu County Referral Hospital Mortuary.
