Slain lawyer Willie Kimani investigated police brutality

Willie Kimani was admitted to the bar in 2011.

He was an advocate of the High Court for five years. He specialised in human rights organisations and the Police Oversight Body (IPOA). His LSK identification number is P.105/8920/11.

He was an investigator at International Justice Mission (IJM) for one and a half years before joining IPOA, where he majored in investigations on police brutality and sexual violence against children. The 32-year-old started his career as an intern at Release Political Prisoners, now the Rights Promotion and Protection Center and later took up the position of a legal officer. He was also a board member.

His passion for fighting for the protection of victims of torture and extrajudicial killings drew him to the Independent Medico Legal Unit before he joined IPOA.

He was last seen in grey trousers, stripped orange shirt, jungle-green jacket and black shoes.
