Horrific Incident: Officer Shoots Colleagues Dead, Then Commits Suicide
Tragedy struck Moyale town on Sunday, October 23, when a police officer went on a deadly rampage, ending in the deaths of two of his colleagues before taking his own life.
The shocking incident unfolded when the officer, identified as Lawrence Kumber, left his residence early in the morning and embarked on a violent spree that has left the community in shock.
Kumber first encountered his colleague, Noah Odero, who was returning to his house from the armory. In a sudden and unprovoked attack, Kumber struck Odero on the head with a large stone, causing him to collapse.
Seizing Odero’s firearm, Kumber then headed to the armory, where he encountered other officers preparing for the day’s duty. Without warning, he opened fire, fatally wounding two officers, including Ezekiel Matete, and injuring another, Abass Mohammed, in the shoulder.
After the deadly assault, Kumber retreated to his house, where he barricaded himself and turned the weapon on himself, ending his life with a shot to the chin. Odero and Abass were swiftly rushed to Alhilal Hospital in Moyale town, while the bodies of the deceased officers were moved to Moyale Sub-County Hospital morgue.
Authorities are now scrambling to piece together what led to this horrific chain of events, leaving many questions unanswered and a community in mourning.
