OCS Kills Himself After Shooting Girlfriend Dead at Mombasa Nightclub

A senior police officer in Mombasa has shot dead his girlfriend before turning the gun on himself following a quarrel at an entertainment joint on Thursday night.

Likoni Deputy Officer Commanding Station (OCS) Joab Omondi allegedly shot the woman, who works as a barmaid, at Lovely Bar in Mtongwe, Mombasa.

Omondi reportedly shot the bar attendant in the head following an altercation at the nightclub. The 25-year-old woman has been identified as Peninah Kaimenyi.

Likoni OCPD Benjamin Rotich says Omondi used a Ceska pistol which was found at the scene with 11 bullets.

Omondi and Ms. Kaimenyi are said to have arrived at the joint at 10 pm before ordering drinks but later disagreed over an unknown matter.

The woman was rushed to the Coast Provincial General Hospital for treatment but she succumbed to the bullet injuries.

The bodies have since been moved to the Coastal Strip hospital mortuary as investigations into the incident commenced.

This is a classic example as to why guns should not be easily available to the masses.
Secondly weapons dont go hand in hand with places where people imbibe alcohol, especially where you are bound to find many strangers. Egos get in the way and no one wants to backdown before his lady/woman.This goes back to prehistoric days where the dominate male got to "lay" with the woman/female.
Yes we are far removed from those days,but the vestiges of our "primitive" still cling on to our genes.Unfortunately these type of things will still happen in the foreseeable future.We can mitigate them by enforcing strick laws and working hard to identify,and avoid "ticking bombs"-psychos.My two cents.

Black people we are not civilized enough to own firearms.Even In USA white folks owns more guns than the number of cars they might posses in lifetime but gun violence is at higher rate among blacks .
This is a draw murder game with 1-1 score results. If the officer had a wife, sorry " hubby is in hell with mpango wa kando"

The sperm is under threat.Is it nature or nurture? Real men are needed and not wimps to be able to cope with the upcoming strong-willed, independent and motivated girl child coming up. Too many killings going on and we can not have this happen if we are going to thrive.

@Kijana: Wanaume na shetani (ibilisi) hamna tofauti. Ukitazama takwimu (statistics) za nchi ya Marekani, wanaume waliofungwa jela ni asilimia 93 (93%).

Wanaume wanaotafutwa na majasusi wa FBI katika nchi ya Marekani kwa kufanya uhalifu ni asilimia 93%.

Wakati sasa umefika wanaume waende jikoni kupika chakula na wanawake watawale dunia nzima.

Nothing ever justifies murder. That said, talk to any Uber driver in Nairobi and they will tell you that many young women and a few young men criss cross the city at night from one lover(sponsor) to another. Each lover is made to think they have something exclusive. Unfortunately, extreme possessiveness of our culture has led to some paying the ultimate price. Never ever invest in another person what you cannot afford to lose.
