A police officer told Missing Voices in confidence that the deceased was shot dead by a police officer on September 15 during an arrest. An officer shot Mbugua thrice under unclear circumstances.
The death got condemnation from senior police officers in Kayole and it was agreed that a digital OB will only be circulated to gazetted officers unlike in other cases where even junior officers circulate such signals in their social media which end up in civilian social media handles.
Nairobi police boss James Mugera refused to comment on the incident. He did not pick our calls and did not reply to our text message seeking clarification on the killing.
