What you need to know:

  • IMLU asked the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (Ipoa), the Internal Affairs Unit (IAU) and the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) to thoroughly probe the matter to establish whether police officers were involved.

The Independent Medico Legal Unit (IMLU) wants all stakeholders to join in investigating the brutal killing of six people in Baringo County, following the revelation that they were tortured before they were shot dead.

The victims are Paul Kosgei (human resource officer, Teachers Service Commission, Tiaty), Nelson Kordado (primary school headteacher), Brian Silale (official of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission), David Kukat (medical student), Kanga Siareng (businessman) and an unidentified man, said to have been a boda boda rider.
