The case involving a former OCS, Nahashon Mutua, 40 who is accused of killing an inmate back in December 2013 keeps taking fresh twists with each day that passes.
Nahashon is accused of having a hand in the death of Martin Koome, a miraa trader who was arrested over domestic dispute and booked at Ruaraka police station, where he was tortured to death.
Mr. Nahashon Mutua has however maintained his innocence and has called for fresh investigations saying he is innocent and his conviction was as a result of false statements given by Koome’s cellmates.
He says Koome’s cellmates are responsible for the injuries inflicted on the victim that resulted to his death.
The former OCS told Justice Stella Mutuku the matter should be investigated afresh, because he is also a “victim” of Koome’s death.
“This court should consider that before I was charged, I was an officer with 14 years of clean record. This case should not have gone the way it did and the court should consider these facts,” he said
Mutua’s sentencing will be on Thursday next week.
Mutua sought a non-custodial sentence, saying there is doubt if he committed the offence.
“I will adhere to all directions and orders if given a chance of a non-custodial sentence,” he said.
