IPOA probes police killing in Nyeri after man shot in Karatina

Transport and business activities were interrupted in Karatina town for the better part of Monday, as business operators in the town barricaded the busy Nyeri- Nairobi highway, to protest the fatal shooting of a businessman. It is alleged that Peter Mwangi, an administration police officer who was on night duty at a petrol station along the highway, shot the businessman four times following a heated argument, killing him instantly. The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) says it has commenced investigations into the incident that has left the family of George crying for justice.
