GSU Officer on the Run After Woman Is Shot Dead at Eldoret Mess

 Police in Ainabkoi Sub-County are investigating a shooting incident in which a 45-year-old woman was allegedly shot dead at the General Service Unit (GSU) Mess in Naiberi, Uasin Gishu County.

According to a police incident report recorded at Naiberi Police Station on Sunday, August 30, 2026, the shooting occurred at about 5:00pm at the GSU Mess compound.

The deceased was identified as Doris Murei Nandi, a 45-year-old woman who was reportedly at the compound when she became involved in a dispute with a police constable identified as PC Nathan Kirwa.

Police said Kirwa was armed with a rifle during the confrontation and allegedly shot Nandi, killing her instantly.

Following the incident, senior police officers, including the Uasin Gishu County Police Commander, the Ainabkoi Sub-County Police Commander, the Sub-County Criminal Investigations Officer and officers from the Scene of Crime Management Unit, visited the scene.

The scene was processed for evidence, with investigators recovering seven spent 9mm cartridges, a rifle holster and a Toyota Corolla 110 motor vehicle registration number KAR 371U, which police said were suspected to be linked to the suspect.

Nandi's body was subsequently removed from the scene and taken to the Eldoret Hospital mortuary, where it is being preserved pending a postmortem examination.

Police said the suspected shooter fled the scene shortly after the incident and remained at large as of Sunday evening.

Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the shooting are ongoing, with the Ainabkoi Sub-County Criminal Investigations Office handling the case.

Police have not yet disclosed the motive behind the alleged shooting or whether the suspect and the deceased knew each other.

The incident is likely to raise fresh questions about firearm handling and discipline within the security services as investigators work to establish what led to the fatal confrontation at the GSU compound.
