A police officer accused of fatally shooting a 22-year-old college student in Kitale has been arraigned in Eldoret High Court.
David Omondi, attached to the Quick Response Team, denied the murder charge when he appeared before Justice Reuben Nyakundi.
The suspect was arrested by the police in connection with the alleged shooting of Dolphine Mwangi, a student at Kitale National Polytechnic.
The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) took over investigations into the fatal shooting of the student after the National Police Service notified it of the tragic incident.
According to court documents, Omondi allegedly committed the said criminal offence on October 21, 2025, at Naree shopping centre in Kiminini sub-county, Trans Nzoia County.
The officer is said to have used a Ceska pistol that was loaded with 15 rounds to end the life of the student at the shopping centre on the fateful night.
