The policeman who killed seven officers at Kapenguria Police Station appeared stressed and rarely interacted with his colleagues days before Thursday gun attack.

According to his colleagues, Constable Abdi Hakim Maslah was a reserved man who spent most of his time alone. In most cases, he carried out his duties without anyone’s support.
