By People.Reporter, July 8, 2022
A drunk and armed police officer attached to Buru Buru Police Station captured on video in full uniform staggering along a road died by suicide yesterday.
The body of Constable Harrison Mugo was on Thursday found hanging inside an old police canteen razed by a fire a few years ago.
The station’s groundsman Salim Onteri while on normal duty near the canteen spotted the body hanging from the rafters and reported the matter to the station commander.
“The body had no visible physical injuries and no suicide note was found. The deceased officer was the one whose clip went viral yesterday (Wednesday) after he was filmed being drunk and disorderly while in police uniform and disciplinary action had been taken against him,” a police report seen by People Daily reads.
The officer was walking to the station, armed with an AK47 assault rifle. At one point, he fell down and was helped by two members of the public to get up. The two are then seen carrying him to a matatu parked beside the road
