Central PCIO dead

Central Provincial Criminal Investigations Officer (PCIO) John Maritim has died. He succumbed to injuries he sustained in a road accident on the Nairobi-Nyeri highway, last week.

Maritim, who was a senior assistant commissioner of police, died at the Nairobi Hospital’s ICU, on Monday.

He was admitted last Sunday after his car was involved in an accident near Makuyu.

Senior officers visited the hospital on Monday, when they heard of his demise.

Doctors said internal bleeding might have led to his death.

Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere sent condolences to his family, describing him as hard working and a professional officer.

Maritim and his driver were heading to Nairobi for a senior officers’ meeting with Mr Iteere when the accident occurred.
