A police officer was arrested after he allegedly shot and killed a reveller in an altercation in a bar in Kenyenya, Kisii county, police and witnesses said.
The incident happened on Friday December 12, 2025, night, police said.
The deceased was shot and killed at a bar where he and others were enjoying themselves at Magena Shopping Centre.
He died instantly after the bullet went through his head.
Police visited the scene and found the body of Moses Okeyo, 28 in a pool of blood in the bar minutes after his shooting at about 11 pm.
The bullet entered through the back of his head and exited through the top of his left eye, police said.
Okeyo worked at Riokindo Girls Secondary School in the area offering exhaustion services.
Locals said he offered specialised waste management for emptying and cleaning septic tanks and pit latrines at the school.
Witnesses said he was having drinks with his friends at the bar when he differed with a police officer attached to Critical Infrastructure Police Unit at headquarters in Nairobi.
The officer reached out his Berretta pistol, which he used to shoot the deceased in the head at close range, witnesses said.
Other revellers present scampered for their safety before regrouping and cornering the officer and stoning him.
