The trial of six police officers who are accused of killing two brothers in Kianjokoma on August 1, 2021, has begun.

Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji has promised that he will prove beyond a doubt that the officers murdered the two brothers, Benson Njiru Ndwiga and Emmanuel Mutura Ndwiga in cold blood.

The six officers are Benson Mputhia, Consolata Njeri, Martin Wanyama, Nicholas Sang, Lillian Cherono and James Mwaniki.


Prosecutor Tabitha Ouya told Justice Daniel Ogembo that the ODPP will prove that the two brothers died at the hands of those expected to protect them.

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.
