Warden misses work, heads home shoots woman, child

A prison warden at Waita GK Prison in Mwingi Sub-county in Kitui, was last evening arrested for allegedly shooting dead a woman and child.

Police were acting on a report made by a prison Duty Officer, who heard gunshot sounds coming from the warden’s quarters earlier that evening, while he was escorting prisoners.

The Mwingi Central senior security officers who went to were informed that the duty officer upon hearing the gunshots, directed the Guard Commander to confirm whether all officers were at their respective watchtowers.

It was discovered that David Nduati Kimani, who was supposed to be stationed at watchtower II was absent from his duty station.

The Duty Officer then received information that David Nduati had surrendered his G3 rifle to the officers manning the main gate, during which he confessed to having killed someone and left.

The Duty Officer had then proceeded to the scene, Nduati’s house, accompanied by two Guard Commanders.

They found a female adult and one infant shot dead. The female was identified as Joyce Mwende aged about 30 years and the infant is one-year-old Raji.

The two were said to have been staying with officer Nduati for a while and had just returned from a visit to Mwende’s rural home.

David Nduati was arrested while attempting to flee. Officers at the scene also collected a G3 rifle loaded with a magazine of 11 rounds and six spent cartridges.

The motive for the killings is yet to be established. Bodies of the deceased were moved to Mwingi Level Four Hospital Mortuary.
