Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A police officer has been implicated in a case where a retired headteacher Charles Moruri and his wife Florence Moruri were killed after their house was allegedly set on fire by unknown individuals.<\/p>\n

Following the unfortunate incident which occurred on Thursday, July 29, it has emerged that Charles had received threats from a police officer at Itumbe Police Station.<\/p>\n

The deceased had complained to a family member saying the threats began when he reported that three police officers were colluding with suspects to steal from area residents<\/p>\n

The couple’s son, Caleb Mogoa, alleged that a number of properties had been stolen from their home and the neighbour’s house.<\/p>\n

“We are aware that my late father had been threatened by a known police officer. We tried to seek help from senior officers but all efforts were in vain,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He insisted that his parents were murdered in cold blood and not from a gas explosion as earlier stated by Kisii Country Commissioner Allan Machari.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always call them every evening but on Wednesday night, as early as 9 pm, the calls went unanswered,” he stated.<\/p>\n

The family had argued that the fire was more intense in the couple’s bedroom.<\/p>\n

County Police Commander Francis Kool has urged residents to remain calm as police investigate the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want to speculate on what happened. Let us allow the investigating team to do their work and give us their findings.<\/p>\n

“We will listen to the family and piece up all the information we have,\u201d Kool added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
