But according to Kisumu Police Commander Alphonse Peter, the deceased was attached at Kodiaga Maximum Prison, had unresolved issues with the family.

Peter told the press that the DCI had taken over the matter, adding that Maseno sleuths led by Patrick Langat were now combing the issues that could have triggered the sudden death of the young officer.

His wife Mercy Oganyo couldn’t hold back her tears recalling the agony of losing a loved one at the peak of their marital bliss.

“It’s painful. I can’t imagine sweetie is no more. I pray that God may give us strength and fortitude to overcome the grief and loss,” she mourned.

Police told k24 Digital that they were closing in on clues as to whether or not the deceased could have picked up a quarrel with one of his seniors leading to the bizarre action.
