A man who confessed about police killings in Nakuru may have been executed after he linked some officers at the Nakuru Central Police Station to extra-judicial killings. The lean, haggard man of medium height with blood-shot eyes confessed to have lured eight people to their death trap, according to a CID officer, has been killed.
Tonny said he felt guilty for having taken part in the deaths of people for which he would be paid as little as Sh1,000 by a senior officer. The highest amount he ever received was Sh5,000.

“I want to get out of this and I know they will kill me eventually because they forced me into it. I sometimes switch off my phone but whenever I put it on, the senior officers would call me threatening to kill me. I want to get out of this and I need help,” he told The Standard on Saturday in a recorded interview.
