IPOA probes three custody deaths

The Independent Policing Oversight Authority is tonight investigating the deaths of three people in separate police cells over the weekend. The incidents, which have sparked public concern, occurred at Kibera, Kariobangi North and Kiambu police stations. A postmortem on Brian Njunge, who died while in custody at Kiambu Police Station, revealed he was strangled. Autopsies on Peter Kiiru, who died at Kariobangi North, and Bernard Nyakwama Omae, who died at Kibera Police Station, are expected later this week.
