Detectives probing the murder of lawyer Willie Kimaniย and two others have revealed how a section of police officers across the country are able to commit crimes without beingย detected.
The investigatorsย workingย forย theย Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA),ย on Friday divulgedย that theย rogue officers have acquired their own walkie-talkies which they useย monitorย police communication, when off duty.
The officers, who operate as a group, use the devices to hack intoย police frequencies where they follow communication and movement of their colleagues.
After retrieving information on theย location of officers on duty, theyย are then able to conduct their criminal activitiesย in areas where their is noย patrol.
The detectives who addressed Nation on the grounds of anonymity as the investigations are incomplete,ย said that the rogueย officersย have also acquired firearms outside the official police systems.
They use the weapons to kill suspects in situations where the officers do notย want to be questioned on the use of ย brutal force. The murders are then blamed on gangsters.
The revelations come at a time when, four administration officers are under investigations over the brutal killingย of lawyer Kimani, his client Josphat Mwenda and a taxi driver Joseph Muiruri.
The deceasedย bodies were discovered dumped in Oldonyo Sabuk river in Machakos County.
Kimani was abducted after appearing in court where he was representing Mwenda who had sued a police officer for attempted murder.
