Two police constables, Klinzy Masinde Baraza and Duncan Kiprono, accused of assaulting and shooting a hawker during Tuesday’s anti-government protests, will remain in custody for 15 days.

This follows an order issued by Milimani Senior Magistrate Benmark Ekhubi, who directed that the interdicted officers remain in custody as investigations by the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (Ipoa) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) continue into allegations of causing grievous harm to hawker Boniface Mwangi Kariuki.
