A police officer who killed his wife on Thursday, March 14, over cheating allegation, has been arrested after days of going into hiding.
According to Citizen TV, the Kenyan administration police officer identified as Patrick Nyapara, was nabbed at the Kenya-Uganda border on Saturday afternoon.
Western Regional Commander Rashid Yakub revealed that the officer was caught while trying to sneak into Uganda.
