There was a tragedy at an apartment in Kitengela, Kajiado County when a police officer was killed in a fight with a fellow police officer over a woman.
The incident happened on Thursday August 7 night after constable Manaseh Ithiru who was attached to Kitengela police station was thrown out of the fourth floor of an apartment he was with a woman believed to be his girlfriend.
Ithiru had earlier at about 7 pm taken a bodaboda to the house of the woman identified as Irene Wavinya Nzioka on Deliverance Road, police said.
He was ushered in and enjoyed his time with the woman for about three hours before someone knocked the door.
On opening, it emerged the guest was a fellow police officer, a sergeant attached to the local Critical Infrastructure Police Unit based at the Export Processing Zone in Athi River.
The guest is also a boyfriend to the same woman where constable Ithiru was.
He arrived without notice, neighbours said.
The neighbours said the knew she hosted both at different times.
Ithiru had asked his rider to be on standby as he would call him to pick him back to his residency.
That did not happen.
When the guest stormed into the house with the woman pleading for peace, a fight broke out between the deceased officer and the now assailant.
The fight moved to the balcony where Ithiru was pushed down and fell off to the parking lot, dying, police said.
