A police officer has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for manslaughter by the High Court in Ol Kalou after a 2020 incident involving the death of a civilian. The officer was found guilty on February 4, 2026, stemming from the civilian's death on May 24, 2020, at Equator Springs Hotel in Gwa Kung'u township, Nyandarua North Sub-County, Nyandarua County.

• The charge was downgraded from murder to manslaughter as the prosecution failed to prove malice aforethought, a key element for a murder conviction.
• The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) investigated the case, presenting findings to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).
• This ruling follows another recent case where a former Likoni Officer Commanding Station (OCS) was handed a life imprisonment sentence for murder by a Mombasa court.
