NAIROBI, Kenya, Sept 22 \u2013 The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has announced it is working with the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) to ensure a thorough and timely investigation into the death of Simon Warui, who was found dead while in custody at Mombasa Central Police Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LSK President Faith Odhiambo confirmed that the society has appointed an advocate to represent Warui\u2019s family, as calls for justice and accountability in police custody deaths intensify across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have appointed an advocate to represent the family, monitor the investigations, and ensure that the full truth about the circumstances leading to Mr. Warui\u2019s death is uncovered, with those responsible held accountable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Warui\u2019s body was discovered in his cell at Mombasa Central Police Station just days after he was reported missing from Nairobi\u2019s Umoja I Estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The circumstances under which he ended up dead in a police station in Mombasa remain unclear,\u201d Odhiambo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She emphasized that the family had reported Warui\u2019s disappearance to Embakasi Police Station, further raising questions about his detention and eventual death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe thank the chair of the LSK Mombasa branch and her team for their efforts in addressing this matter. We will continue to update the public on any findings and will persist in our pursuit of justice for Mr. Warui and his family,\u201d Odhiambo stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
