"IPOA concluded investigations and recommended to the DPP, murder charges and on April 27, 2015, the DPP concurred with IPOA's recommendations.

"Consequently, today (Wednesday) Justice S. N. Mutuku has sentenced the two police constables to death having found them guilty earlier this month," the brief from IPOA read in part.
