The officer reportedly turned his service weapon on himself in one of the toilets at the tallying centre. The incident caused mayhem in the tallying centre before the residents mustered the courage to go to the toilets to see what had happened.
“He was on duty and we are yet to establish why he decided to turn the gun against himself,” he said.
The body of the administration police officer was taken to the Kisii District mortuary.
Nothing else has been revealed about the officer other than that he hails from Luo Nyanza and was still in his early twenties.
Akoru said that he would not be revealing the name of the officer until his next of kin is informed of his passing.
