The Independent Medico-Legal Unit (IMLU) has demanded investigations into the recent killing of four youths in Nakuru. IMLU says the youth were killed in cold blood by police officers from Rhonda Police Station.

For months, Nakuru residents decried rising insecurity following the emergence of criminal gangs that terrorised residents at night and in broad daylight. Several killings, especially of women, were attributed to the youthful gang members.
