The police officer who shot dead a suspect for fleeing arrest will be produced in court next week, according to police.
The Sipi Regional Police Commander, Mr Musa Nabende, told mourners at the burial of the late Richard Semu on Wednesday that he would ensure the case files against the implicated officers were ready by end of the week to take them for prosecution.
The three officers who had gone to arrest Semu are under detention and among them is the officer in charge of Sipi Police Post, ASP Medard Kayolo, who commanded the operation. The two others are Constables Musa Mwanga and Daniel Chepkwurui. Semu, the son of Kapchorwa Municipality MP-elect Sam Cheptoris, was killed on Monday by a bullet which ripped his intestines and left hip bone.
“Kayolo as a boss should have put the situation under control other than killing a young man who still had opportunities in life,” Mr Nabende told mourners. “This will serve as a lesson to other officers who use rudimentary methods to arrest unarmed criminal suspects,” he added.
