On Wednesday, July 6, 2022, a drunk and armed Buruburu police officer committed suicide after his video went viral.
The body of the Kenyan police officer seen in the video staggering down the road in full uniform was discovered hanging inside an old police canteen that burned down a few years ago.
Salim Onteri, the station’s groundsman, discovered Constable Harrison Mugo’s body hanging from the rafters and notified the station commander.
According to a police report confirming his death,
“The body had no visible physical injuries and no suicide note was found. The deceased officer was the one whose clip went viral yesterday (Wednesday) after he was filmed being drunk and disorderly while in police uniform and disciplinary action had been taken against him.”
