Caroline Kangogo, a policewoman who has been on the run for shooting two men has killed herself. Kangogo killed herself in Keiyo. Lawyer John Khaminwa had offered to represent her in court upon her arrest.
She has been on the run for days. Police officers were closing in on her. The police have confirmed that she shot herself at her parent’s home this morning.
Kangongo, 34 years old, was born in 1987 in Kamogich, Elgeyo Marakwet County. She attended Nyawa Primary school and later joined St Alphonsus Mutei Girls high school where she scored a mean grade of C- in 2006 shortly before joining the police force.
Kangongo who is now a mother of two is the firstborn daughter to Barnaba Korir ( a retired police inspector) and Leah Kangongo from Rift valley Province.
She joined Keiyo Professional Counselors where she acquired a certificate in BASIC Skills in Peer Counselling.
She later joined the Kenya police college in Kiganjo in August 2008 where she attained a first-class in shooting classification. She also trained as a corporal in the same learning institution.
She has worked in three police stations, Kaloleni Police Station and Kenya Police College respectively before she was posted to Kasarani Police Station, Nakuru county where her work has been exemplary according to Nakuru County Police Commander, Beatrice Kiraguri.
Although there’s no clarity to this, she is said to have been married to a senior police officer attached to the Maritime Police Unit in Mombasa. The two later separated due to infidelity and only agreed to co-parent.
When corporal Caroline was first accused of a police constable John Ogweno of Kasarani police lines in Nakuru, many thought tris was just one of the many cases of love gone sour incidences that lead to murder.
