Justice for Lawyer Willie Kimani, his client and the cab driver

On the 23rd of June Lawyer Willie, his client and a taxi driver were leaving the Mavoko law court after hearing of a case which involved an administration police officer, soon after they were abducted by unknown persons and their whereabouts remained anonymous. All fingers started pointing towards the administration police who was a party to the case. Information from the case was that the officer was facing serious offence which would have possibly lead to his interdiction thereby creating a reasonable suspicion at that time that he might have a hand in the mysterious disappearance. 

The legal fraternity in show of solidarity started to voice their concern on the casual manner the incident was being handled, pressure was mounting after a peaceful march to the office of the inspector general by the members of the Law Society of Kenya to present a memorandum highlighting the demands which included speedy investigation and a report into the matter. The following day an application for habeas corpus was brought to court where the head of security of the country were enjoined, this is normally done where a person’s whereabouts is unknown and it is suspected he might be in the custody of police. In a sudden turn of events, the shocking discovery of the slain bodies of the lawyer and the cab driver were found in a Mbogoria river, indication of torture and brutal murder was confirmed.
