A General Service Unit officer shot dead his Flying Squad police counterpart after a disagreement.
The officer was killed on Sunday in Mathira Division. Police are looking for the suspect, who also fled with the AK-47 rifle he used.
Police claimed the suspect, who had delayed in settling a bar bill, shot the officer. But other sources said the duo had disagreed over a woman.
Nyeri OCPD Kirunya Limbitu said the deceased, who was attached to Karatina Flying Squad base, went to Hill Park Bar and found his assailant in a disagreement with a waiter.

"He had taken beer worth Sh300 and paid through M-Pesa cash transfer service. His cell phone indicated he had sent the money, but the same was not confirmed in the bartender’s mobile phone," said Mr Limbitu.
He said the delay prompted a quarrel. "The deceased urged the officer to pay his bill in cash," he said.
But the officer went to Karatina Police Station, picked an AK-47 rifle and shot the officer outside the bar.
