For nearly two hours, Police Constable Bernard Sivo held a police station hostage as his wife begged him to surrender his rifle not to harm himself, his family and colleagues. 

The tension at Njoro Police Station came to a halt yesterday after Police Constable Bernard Sivo, 28, turned a gun on himself despite efforts by his colleagues and other relatives to calm him down.
