The police commander quickly assembled a team of officers and rushed to the scene. They found the Shiundu’s car parked at the gate with its engine still running.
As they were searching for him, the officers received a message that their counterpart had been found by a watchman at around 3.30am at Tipis area near a river. His firearm that was loaded with 14 rounds of 9mm was also missing.
“The officer was later tracked at the Tipis area about 77kms North of the Narok Town. The police used all means to ensure the officer is rescued,” said Mutoro at that time.
