"I demanded to know what had happened to my son, but the officers said nothing," said Nganga.
Moments later, Nganga said, a vehicle from Malewa Police Station arrived and took his son away.
Later, they were informed he was dead. "No one had given us an explanation on what transpired. We are calling for investigations. We want justice for our son," said Nganga.
Kipipiri sub-county police boss Mwaniki Ireri said he has been out of office but will respond after he has been briefed on what transpired.
