A senior General Service Unit (GSU) police officer was shot dead by his junior colleagues at their camp in Lamu on Monday night.

The Lamu East OCPD reported that Sergeant David Gitonga was going back to the Basuba GSU Camp at around 11.45pm when he was challenged to stop by his junior colleagues manning the camp, but he failed to do so.

He was shot in the neck and died on the spot.

The shooting was confirmed by Chief Inspector Chesaina, the camp's commander.

Constables Charles Ndonye and Billy Rono have been questioned by the investigators.
