Rights groups have demanded an independent and transparent investigation into the death of Eric Otieno, a boda boda rider who died shortly after his release from Muthaiga Police Station.
The Social Justice Centres Working Group in a statement on Wednesday said all relevant investigative agencies must establish what happened to Otieno while he was in custody, warning that recurring deaths in police cells point to a disturbing pattern of abuse eroding public confidence in law enforcement.
Otieno, 20, was arrested on Saturday, August 1 on allegations of preparing to commit a felony.
