Detectives in Githurai have arrested a police officer from Kimbo Police Station in connection with the murder of a 24-year-old man who succumbed to gunshot wounds early Sunday morning.
The victim, identified as John Mutembei, was shot at the Goteana Bar in Githurai Kimbo and later died while receiving treatment at Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital.
