The officer who led operations in Nyalenda, during election protests, has admitted that his inaction may have led to the death of baby Samantha Pendo.

Chief Inspector Masha Chengo, however, said his officers were not directly involved in the death, saying they did not access the scene of the incident despite the area being under their jurisdiction.
