HE WAS KILLED! NEW TWIST IN THE CASE OF SANKOK’S DEAD SON

New Twist In The Case Of Sankok’s Dead Son As Police Find Major Inconsistencies

Nominated MP David Sankok was on Thursday grilled for the second time over the death of his son in Narok County.

Detectives went to record a further statement from Sankok over what they termed as ‘inconsistencies’.

Memusi Sankok, 15, allegedly shot himself dead with a gun. But it is not clear what the detectives handling the matter got from Sankok in his statement.

The team has so far recorded statements from at least 10 people including Sankok, his wife, children and workers.

“It was as they went through the statements they detected inconsistencies hence the need for clarification,” police said.

The probe file will be sent to the Office of Director of Public Prosecution with various recommendations for action.

This comes as the focus has shifted to the ballistic analysis of two guns belonging to Sankok following the death of Memusi.

Police took his shotgun and Ceska pistol found in the house for analysis and examination.

They also collected shells believed to have been discharged from the shotgun, which now they believe Memusi used to blow up his head.

An autopsy conducted on the body revealed the cause of Memusi’s death was a gunshot to the chin that exited through the head.

Police are planning to recommend that Sankok be charged with negligence in handling his firearm.

A licensed firearm holder is always supposed to ensure the safety of their gun.

Apart from the charges, the team handling the case also plans to recommend an inquest into the boy’s death.

Detectives on Tuesday grilled nominated MP David Sankok over the alleged suicide of his son.

Memusi Sankok, 15, is said to have shot himself dead using his father’s pistol on Monday afternoon after taking it from a safe in his father’s bedroom.

The team of detectives led by Narok DCI boss Mwenda Ethaiba visited the home of the lawmaker at his Ewaso Nyiro in Narok South and questioned Sankok, his wife, daughter and a worker.

They also recorded statements from workers at Osim Country Lodge, which is barely 100 metres from his residence. The MP owns the lodge.

The detectives also visited the Longisa County Referral Hospital in Bomet county where the body of Memusi was taken.

After four hours of grilling, they visited the scene where the 15-year-old boy reportedly shot himself in the chin.

The boy was a Form 3 student at Kericho High School.

The pistol used by the lawmaker’s son to kill himself has since been confiscated for forensic analysis by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.

According to the family, the boy was to return to school last week.

The father, who was out of the country, sent pocket money and cash for shopping.

“He instead disappeared from the home and only returned Sunday. The father also returned home Sunday,” a family friend said.

According to officials, on Monday morning the father summoned the boy for a talk.

But after a lengthy discussion, he gave in and agreed to go back to school on Tuesday accompanied by the father.

“The MP says he then left the homestead and went to his hotel nearby for a political meeting. At around 3 pm, the boy accessed the mother’s handbag and took the keys to the bedroom and the safe. After opening the safe, he took a Glock pistol and shot himself on the chin, with the bullet exiting through the back head,” a police report said.

According to the police report, Memusi was found in a pool of blood with a shotgun beside him.
