A Maralal court on Thursday convicted a police officer and his two wives for stealing a colleague’s gun in June last year.

Constable Peter Mutembei and his two wives – Joan Kanana and Alice Wanjiru were found guilty on two counts of stealing a gun and handling stolen property.

When they were arraigned in court in June last year, the three denied the charges before Maralal Principal Magistrate James Wanyanga and were each released on Sh150,000 bond. Thereafter, the prosecution side put forward a strong case before the court to prove the charges.

The court was told that Mr Mutembei was arrested alongside his two wives by detectives from Maralal town, who were able to recover the AK-47 rifle which was reported missing by his colleague, Constable Lawrence Lekenit.

The three were charged that on the night of June 4, at Maralal Police Line in Samburu Central, jointly broke and entered the dwelling place of Constable Lekenit and stole one AK-47 loaded with 30 rounds of ammunition. The prosecution side had told the court that the firearm was a property of the Kenya Police Service and was worth Sh103,000.
