A former Deputy OCS at the Ugunja Police Station, who was at one time accused of murdering a journalist based in Siaya, has been found dead. 

Chief Inspector Sabina Kerubo bust into the limelight on November 21, 2019 after a Siaya-based correspondent with The Star newspaper was found dead in her house in Ugunja Town.

41-year-old Erick Oloo was found with deep cut injuries in his head and Kerubo was then arrested and arraigned over Oloo’s murder.

However, in a twist of events, the case against the senior police officer failed to take off after witnesses failed to appear in court for mentions. 

Kerubo was later moved to Police Headquarters in Nairobi for counselling only for her lifeless body to be found in her single-room house at Komarock in Matungulu, Machakos County.
