Kimani feared for his life a moment he was taken to Syokimau AP camp

                                         Lawyer Willie Kimani who was kidnapped and murdered

Human right lawyer Willie Kimani, his client Josephat Mwenda and their driver Joseph Muiruri were kidnapped as they exited the Mavoko law courts on June 23, 2016, and were allegedly taken into police custody at the Syokimau AP camp before tortured and their bodies dumped into oldonyo Sabuk River in Machakos County.

It was while in incarcerated that Kimani threw a note scribbled on toilet paper to a passerby through a cell window, instructing the witness to call his wife and alert her that his life was in danger.

The camp denied hosting the trio at their jail cell a denial that sent the Law Society of Kenya and the international community into overdrive, protesting the disappearance of the human rights lawyer.

So far three Administrations police officers have been arrested in connection to the torture and murder of three. According to a statement from the office of the Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett on Friday, July 1, the behavior of the three was detested by the Service which distanced itself from the suspects.

“Their behavior is no representative of what the National Police Service stands for and they will be dealt with firmly according to the law. We assure the public that justice will be done to all,” read the statement.

Kenyan lawyers threatened to down their tools if government fails to produce people who killed Lawyer Willie Kimani, Josephat Mwenda and Joseph Muiruri
