Police are investigating an incident where a man who intruded into the Moi Airbase in Eastleigh, Nairobi was shot and killed by military personnel on duty.
Police and military officials said the suspect had entered the facility on Thursday morning through the Nairobi River, which runs within the larger compound.
Part of the Nairobi River meanders through the military camp.
Personnel on duty said they spotted the man as he walked into the main quarters at about 2 am.
According to officials, the personnel on duty challenged him to surrender but he defied the orders prompting the shooting.
It was then that the personnel called the police to come and join the probe into the incident.
Police said they wanted to understand what motivated the slain man to get into the fortified compound.
Police picked up the body to the mortuary pending identification, autopsy and other procedures.

The body was moved to the mortuary pending autopsy.
Elsewhere, the body of a man was found floating in a river within Mathare slums.
