Dad’s 25-year search for justice in police-linked death of son

By  Sylvania Ambani

What you need to know:

  • Samuel Karuga Kiragu died a day after being released from police custody in 1995.
  • An autopsy revealed that he died from severe beating on the head and chest.

State agencies are on the spot for inconsistencies on a court file that recommended the prosecution of three police officers.

While a trail of correspondence shows that the file existed, it seems to have disappeared without a trace, hindering the case.
