Two police officers found guilty of killing MP's bodyguard

Two police officers who killed their colleague and his two relatives after mistaking them for robbers have been found guilty of murder.

Lady Justice Martha Mutuku yesterday ruled that the prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that Benjamin Kahindi and Stanley Okoti murdered Joseph Obong'o, Geoffrey Nyabuto and Amos Makori on October 7, 2014 in Kangemi, Nairobi.

“I find sufficient evidence to prove the two accused persons acted outside the law in performing their duties and shot to death the three... persons with malice aforethought. I find them guilty as charged and convict them accordingly,” she ruled.

Obong'o was an administration police officer. The officers will be sentenced on November 7.
