Monday, August 4, 2025 - Police have launched a manhunt for an officer who is accused of fatally shooting two women, including his alleged girlfriend, in a shocking incident on Sunday night at a bar in Kanyonyoo Market, Kitui County.
According to eyewitnesses, the off-duty officer, attached to
Kanyonyoo Police Station, had an argument with Joy Mutisya, believed to be his
lover.
Things quickly escalated, and in a horrifying twist, he drew
his service-issued AK-47 and shot her dead.
A second woman said to be a friend, who tried to intervene,
was also shot and killed on the spot.
Locals are outraged, calling it yet another example of
unchecked police brutality.
“How many more lives must we lose before the system is
fixed?” one resident asked.
Police recovered three spent cartridges at the scene, and a

The victims’ bodies were taken to Kitui Level 5 Hospital for
postmortem.
