The body of slain police officer Samuel Kaetuai, who was killed in Haiti, has been flown back to Kenya.
Deputy Inspector General of the Administration Police Service, Gilbert Masengeli, led police officers in receiving the body at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) this morning.
Also present were nominated Senator Peris Tobiko, family members, and friends, led by Kaetuai’s father, Salaash Kaetuai.
The body was transferred to Chiromo Mortuary for preservation as burial preparations continue. The burial date will be announced later.
Kaetuai was killed by armed gangs while on the Kenya-led peacekeeping mission in Haiti.
