The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has demanded an independent investigation into the unexplained death of Simon Warui, who died in police custody at Central Police Station in Mombasa. This incident has reignited concerns about police accountability and follows several other mysterious deaths in custody across Kenya.

• LSK President Faith Odhiambo confirmed the appointment of an advocate to represent Warui's family and monitor investigations.
• Warui went missing on Sunday around 10am and was found dead hours later in a police cell.
• The LSK is collaborating with civil society partners and the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) to ensure a thorough investigation.
• This incident follows other recent deaths in custody, including Raymond Nachibati in Kakamega County and Albert Ojwang in Nairobi, whose autopsy revealed severe head injuries.
