Revenge: Cop Looking for Woman That Infected Him with HIV

[Pink.]

A police officer who said he was looking for a woman who infected him with HIV rampaged through three bars in a central Kenyan town and killed 10 people, including two fellow officers, officials said Sunday.

The shooting spree happened late Saturday in Siakago, 90 miles (150 kilometers) northeast of the capital, Nairobi.

The suspect, who is in his 30s, went out Saturday night looking for a female friend but couldn't find her, said John Chelimo, the district commissioner. The officer is in police custody, he said.

Provincial Police Chief Marcus Ochola said 10 people had been killed.

"The man is said to be accusing the girl of having infected him with HIV and when he went to look for her he did not find her," Ochola said. "That for now seems to be the motive behind the killings."

The shootings took place in three different bars, said Chelimo.

"When gunshots were heard, two administration policemen ran towards him," Chelimo said. "They called his name but he did not even answer, he just shot at the two administration policemen on the spot. Plus other gentlemen who met him, in total two ladies and eight men."

Many townspeople didn't realize what was happening because they mistook the gunfire for fireworks, said Antonin Newite, a local radio reporter. Many Hindus in Kenya were celebrating the festival of Diwali on Saturday.

The killings sparked a mass protest in front of the Siakago police station early Sunday, said Nyaga Manunga, whose daughter was one of those killed. He said the shootings took place very close to the police station.

"In Siakago there is no security," Manunga said. "Someone can't just shoot 20 to 30 bullets without any reaction from the police."

Either way...I wonder if under certain circumstance I would not be hunting someone down that infected me.

Maybe she knew and he knew she knew...maybe thats bullshite....but if I knew that an infector of mine knew ....I WOULD GO OFF HIM!

Ok I think I might be guilty of hunting the person down....but taking 10 people out. Kinda seems ironic that he is hunting her down because she essentially sentenced him to death, and he kills 10 people while on this mission. Ugh, and people wonder why I don't go out much.

I don't think I would go shooting innocents though...but I would hunt the sob down.

He probably used his position to coerce her into sex or raped her.
