The court heard that the officer was in his uniform and was accompanied by three colleagues.
The officers had gone to arrest Mr King’ori for assaulting Constable Ireri at a pub in Mukurwe-ini town on February 22, 2015.
Corporal Sanga was charged with murder following a recommendation by Ipoa.
A police officer who fatally shot a stonemason in Mukurwe-ini was acting in self-defence since the victim was armed with a panga and had refused to surrender, a State witness has told the High Court in Nyeri.
The witness told Justice Abigail Mshila that the victim, Gregory Kanyi King’ori, was advancing towards Corporal Chibungu Sanga, who was armed with an AK-47 rifle during the incident on the night of March 7, 2015.
