A police officer attached to the Parklands Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has committed suicide.

The officer who was identified as Elias Kirimo served as a senior sergeant until his untimely death.

According to eyewitness accounts, the cop committed the horrendous act in his Kasarani home.

His body was discovered by his two children, whose attempts to resuscitate him bore no fruit.

"He reported that his father, a resident of Pazuri Apartments near Naivas Kasarani that his father, who is a Sergent and attached to DCI Parklands, had committed suicide in his bedroom at the said apartments," the report read in part.

Officers from Kasarani police station hurried to the scene and were stunned to find their colleague's lifeless body on the floor.

According to a statement made by police chief Peter Mwazo, the deceased had strangling marks below his chin suggesting a possibility of suicide.

"The deceased officer's neck had signs of strangulation below his chin. The scene was secured and later processed by the scene of crime personnel, and the body was moved to the Kenyatta University Hospital morgue awaiting postmortem," he said.

Elias' case only adds to the number of police officers who have fallen victim to suicide cases.

A police officer assigned to the Marsabit police station admitted be suffering from depression and asked for well-wishers to come for his aid.

Another police officer set himself on fire in Nyeri in August.

According to a recent report released by the National Police Service, mental illness is a grave concern in the police department.

Since then, the commission has crafted a meticulous government program to help tame the situation.

Euronews [Photo/Courtesy] YouTube has taken down R. Kelly's official channels following his conviction for sex trafficking charges last week. The jury said that the R&B artist took advantage of his status to exploit unsuspecting women and young girls. The gullible folks were converted into Kelly's sex slaves rather than obtaining much-needed assistance with their music. His two channels had over 5 million subscribers. His two accounts, RKellyTV and RKellyVevo, were permanently suspended for what YouTube termed as "violation of its terms of service." The move bars the singer from owning new channels or creating any YouTube content.

"We are going to unravel the unscrupulous expenditure that is going on in Kabianga," one of them remarked. Completely irked by the decision, the students who were breathing fire in front of the camera bitterly sought the justification behind the fee hike. "We are so tired.
