Job Omariba, who was a Meru based nurse, his body was discovered at a bush in Machakos County, police are linked to his kidnapping and murder

NAIROBI: The shooting to death of Jared Otieno Agalo on the night of August 17 in circumstances that clearly point to another case of extra-judicial killing is among the latest incidents in which police have used brutal force in situations that do not warrant it.
