Police Constable Jackson Kipkoech Konga has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for the murder of his superior, Sergeant Christopher Kimeli, in an incident that occurred at the Nakuru K9 Unit on August 8, 2023. The verdict was delivered by Justice Julius Nangea at the Nakuru High Court on July 24, 2025. The court found that although there was provocation during a workplace argument, the constable’s response was intentional and far exceeded what could be considered self-defense or a momentary lapse in judgment.

According to witness testimonies and court evidence, the altercation began when Sergeant Kimeli confronted Constable Konga over his conduct while handling suspects. The discussion escalated into a heated exchange. Witnesses stated that Konga cocked his service AK-47 rifle, left the report office, and returned shortly after to shoot Sergeant Kimeli at close range. The shooting happened so swiftly that there was no opportunity to de-escalate the situation or intervene.

Forensic experts later matched the spent cartridge found at the scene to the rifle issued to Konga, confirming that it was indeed his weapon that was used in the shooting. The defense argued that Konga had acted in the heat of the moment under provocation. However, the court found that while provocation was present, it did not justify the lethal force used. Justice Nangea ruled that Konga’s action was “deliberate and disproportionate,” and constituted murder under Kenyan law.

The sentencing has brought some relief to Sergeant Kimeli’s family and colleagues, many of whom expressed deep grief and outrage over the killing of a respected officer by someone under his command. The court also informed Konga of his right to appeal the ruling within 14 days. The case has highlighted tensions within the police service and sparked broader conversations about discipline, conflict resolution, and mental health support in law enforcement agencies.
