Kenyan Police Officer Storms into Hospital, Shoots Girlfriend Dead Before Committing Suicide

A police officer on Sunday night shot and killed his girlfriend before committing suicide in Nakuru County.

Corporal Bernard Sivo, 28, is reported to have followed Mary Nyambura to Njoro Sub-County Hospital where she had been admitted with a fractured leg after being assaulted by the officer.

He then stormed into the ward and shot the 29-year-old woman several times, killing her on the spot.

The officer returned to Njoro Police Station where he was on duty and started shooting aimlessly, forcing his colleagues to scamper for safety.

“The officers were mobilized to disarm him but unfortunately he shot himself on the chin and the bullet exited on the upper forehead and he died instantly,” reads the police report of the incident.

The officer’s AK-47 rifle S/No. 4912292 with 11 rounds of ammunition was recovered from the scene.

The bodies of Nyambura and Sivo were transferred to Egerton University Morgue awaiting postmortem.
