Police Officers Behind Shooting of Boniface Kariuki Shooting in Nairobi Detained For 15 Days
The victim, Boniface Mwangi Kariuki, remains in ICU after being shot by police during demonstrations.
A Nairobi court has granted detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) 15 days to detain two police constables captured on video shooting a mask hawker at close range during Tuesday’s protests in the Central Business District in Nairobi.
Constables Masinde Klinzy Barasa, identified as the officer who opened fire, and Duncan Kiprono, who was at the scene, were arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts on Thursday.
The court directed that the matter be mentioned on July 3 to confirm the progress of the investigations.
The incident, which occurred near Tom Mboya Street, was caught on camera and widely circulated on social media, sparking public outrage.
The shooting happened during protests against police brutality and the recent death of blogger and teacher Albert Ojwang while in custody.
The 22-year-old victim, Boniface Mwangi Kariuki, was rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital where he remains in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
