Ouya said that the six officers premeditated killing Benson Njiru Ndwiga and Emmanuel Mutura Ndwiga.
She assured the court that evidence will show that the officers brutally murdered the deceased brothers.
“These were young energetic persons pursuing life and best friends to each other who had aspirations and looking forward to a better life,” Ouya stated.
She accused the officers of staging a road accident to cover their tracks yet they are the ones who violently killed the two brothers.
Two witnesses have testified in the case.
