(a) On 26th January, 2010 at around 7.45 p.m at Sekata area along Bungoma- Webuye Road, three vehicles which included a fuel tanker and a lorry were involved in an accident. A large crowd assembled at the scene of the accident and started siphoning diesel leaking from the fuel tanker. This caused a lot of commotion and the crowd became uncontrollable. This prompted the police officers to shoot in the air to disperse the crowd. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a Kenya Red Cross staff from Bungoma Branch had gone to the scene to assist the accident victims. Among them was one volunteer namely, Alfred Sululu. While attending to one of the accident victims, he was shot from the back. The firearms used by the police officers and bullet heads recovered were taken to ballistic experts for analysis and to establish who had shot the bullet. After the ballistic investigations were conducted, it was eventually established that Corporal Peter Ngilu, No.32292 fired the fatal shot. He was arraigned in court on 3rd February, 2010 vide State Counsel letter Gen.CRL.Vol.1/35/2010 and charged with the offence of murder. The case is pending in court. (b) With regard to Robert Rono, on the night of 30th January, 2010 about 5.00 a.m. three Administration Police officers guarding the Ruiru Campus heard screams emanating from the ladies hostels which is known as “Tana” and proceeded to investigate. On their way, they encountered three people who were running away from the ladies hostel and on seeing the police they engaged the police officers in a shootout as they escaped. Police officers fired back and one was shot dead. The other two, unfortunately, escaped. The suspect shot dead was found with a toy pistol which was later handed over to the police. It later emerged that the deceased, Ronald Kiprono Chumba was a second"
