Two patients who are admitted at Bondo sub-county hospital in Siaya County were attacked and stabbed by a police officer who was also admitted in the same facility.
The officer who is attached to Aram Police Station in Rarieda sub-county is said to have been admitted at the male ward yesterday.
According to the hospital management, it was at around mid-night when patients were heard screaming before nurses and the clinical officer on duty rushed to check what was going on.
On arrival, the medical staff found that the police officer had already stabbed a 14-year-old boy on the neck and a 20-year-old patient on the chest and was heading towards the third patient.
It was at that time that they raised the alarm before more staff and security guards arrived and managed to subdue the officer who still had a knife in his hands.
Siaya County Police Commander Serah Koki stated that the officer who had been sick was then handed over to his fellow police officers who were called at the scene
While confirming the ill-feted incident, the County Police boss stated that the matter is currently being handled by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to determine the next cause of action.
Meanwhile the 20-year-old patient who was stabbed on the neck has been taken for X-Ray examination as the other one also undergoes further treatment within the same facility.
