The family of Simon Warui is calling for a thorough and impartial investigation into his death while in custody at Mombasa’s Central Police Station, disputing official postmortem results. They allege a cover-up by police and question how he sustained injuries consistent with a fall.

• Simon Warui’s death occurred in custody at Mombasa’s Central Police Station.
• The official postmortem ascribed death to cardiorespiratory collapse from a fractured and dislocated neck.
• The family, including Mary Njeri (Warui’s widow) and Antony Kariuki (Warui’s brother), questions how he ended up in Mombasa and what happened in the cells.
• Human rights organizations, like those represented by Walid Sketty and Hussein Khalid, demand accountability and the suspension of officers on duty.
• The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) is investigating and has obtained CCTV footage from the station.
