Senior police officer collapses and dies in her home compound
Detectives are investigating an incident where a senior female police officer collapsed and died in her compound in Juja, Kiambu County.
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Susan Mangiso Sarioyo collapsed and died in a poultry house in her compound within Jacaranda Court Estate, Juja South, police said.
She was in charge of personnel at the Kasarani police sub-county.
The cause of the death is yet to be determined. Neighbours said they heard screams from her compound on Thursday afternoon, and on rushing there, they found her lifeless body on the floor.
Police said the officer was on leave at the time of the incident.
Senior police officers visited the scene and confirmed the same. They described her as a hardworking and listening officer.
The body was moved to the mortuary pending autopsy and other investigations.
This is the second such incident to happen in weeks. Another female officer collapsed and died outside Mbaraki police station in Mombasa two weeks ago. The cause of the death was not disclosed.

Meanwhile, a man fell from a stool and died as he repaired the roof of a structure in Soweto, Kayole, Nairobi.
