A distraught parent has appealed to the government to investigate the circumstances that led to the death of his son while being held at Maseno police station recently.
The late Samson Okumu 27, was arrested on 30th last month for allegedly assaulting a woman and was locked at Maseno police station for three days and arraigned before court last week Wednesday to take a plea.
According to his father Patrick Okumu Nyakwaka, the suspect was released on bond pending the hearing of the case but in the meantime, he was locked up in the same police station as the family strived to fulfil the bond terms.
“But when I returned to the police station Thursday, I was informed that my son attempted suicide in the cells and was rushed to Ojola dispensary for treatment where he lost his life,’’ Nyakwaka said.
