The Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji has directed the interdiction of two police bosses in Embu over the deaths of two brothers- Emmanuel Ndwiga and Benson Njiru Ndwiga whose bodies were discovered days after they were arrested for flouting the curfew rule.
In a letter to the Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai, the DPP wants former Manyatta OCS Abdullahi Yaha and former Embu North OCPD Emily Ngaruya interdicted and a further probe undertaken by the police to establish their roles in the deaths of the two brothers.
"Additionally, I direct that further investigations be carried out into the role of the OCPD and OCS. Pending the same, I recommend that they be suspended from duty,” reads the letter by Mr. Haji.
The two officers had been transferred from Embu following the deaths of the two which drew protest against police brutality.
The two brothers were allegedly killed after they were arrested at Kianjakoma Shopping Center for contravening the 10 pm to 4 am curfew.
Six police officers linked to the deaths were yesterday arrested and arraigned at Milimani Law Court. They were detained for 14 days to allow detectives to complete investigations.
