Banker David Wokabi was beaten by five guards at Nyali Centre, Mombasa, for allegedly urinating in the parking lot.
He died on Sunday.
The family say it does not accept the reason given for the beating and it has demanded justice.
Two guards have already been charged over the beating.
Coast regional coordinator Nelson Marwa has ordered the arrest of the proprieter of Solvit Security Company, whose guards assaulted a banker leading to his death. Addressing journalists at Uhuru na Kazi boardroom in Mombasa on Friday, Mr Marwa said that the owner should be held accountable for his guards who were involved in the January 7 incident.
INVESTIGATION “He has all the details of his guards and he should be arrested immediately. He should write a statement and tell us where those who fled are. He is the employer, he has all the details of where his employees come from. We cannot play musical chairs with him,” said Mr Marwa. He said that the company’s owner has been trying to influence police officers handling the case. “Let those police officers be warned. If you are influenced you will face the wrath. Kenyans are waiting for answers over the death of that innocent Kenyan and we will give them,” added Mr Marwa.
