Police in Kenya are investigating the death of a 36-year-old man said to have been stabbed by an Administration Police officer on Monday.

Alphonce Owiti alias Apolo’s family said he was stabbed by the officer at a trading centre after an altercation over a woman.

The deceased is said to have found the officer having drinks with the woman, a maid at the bar, and accused him of flirting with her.

The two fought, with the officer said to have stabbed Owiti.

County Deputy Police Commander Samuel Obara told local reporters that investigations had begun.

While in Kenya, a court sentenced a man 10 years in prison for committing an indecent act on a six-year-old girl.

Principal Magistrate Joe Omido observed that evidence produced by the prosecution was sufficient for the court to jail Jackson Wafula.

Wafula had denied defiling the girl on November 3, 2015 at Kagoto.

He also denied an alternative count of committing an indecent act on a child.

The prosecution called five witnesses who testified against Wafula.

At the end of the testimonies, the court ruled that although there was no penetration on the girl, an indecent act was proved after semen was found on her.
