Five suspects facing robbery with violence charges have escaped from police custody at Limuru Police Station in Kiambu County.
The suspects reportedly escaped at around 11 pm after overpowering the night-shift report officer and the cell sentry, who had opened the male cells to transfer 10 detainees to an inner room.
According to a police report, the officers raised the alarm, prompting Police Constable Amos Ngene, who was on crime standby duty, to respond. However, he was also attacked by the fleeing suspects.
