Officers involved in the murder of two Kianjokama brothers have been suspended, IG of police Hillary Mutyambai has said.
The two brothers -Benson Ndwiga and Emmanuel Ndwiga- met their death in early August on their way home when police officers enforcing curfew in the area accosted them.
Speaking during #engagetheIG on Monday, Mutyambai said the suspension is to pave way for investigation.
“I assure you that justice for the Kianjokoma brothers will be served, but this can only be done if we allow the proper due process to take place with concrete evidence that can stand a trial in the court of justice,” Mutyambai said.
The IG further sent his condolences to the family adding that IPOA has concluded investigations on the matter.
IPOA has forwarded the file to the Director of Pubic Prosecution for action.
Their deaths have caused an uproar in the country as Kenyans demand for justice.
Autopsy report showed their heads bore signs of blunt force trauma.
The two brothers were laid to rest on Friday as mourners called for justice, demanding answers from the government.
During the burial service, the Law Society of Kenya president Nelson Havi, who attended the burial, criticised the security system in the country for failing to secure the lives of Kenyans.
Havi gave the government an ultimatum of seven days to take action against officers who are suspected to have been involved in the deaths. BY THE STAR
