Kariuki’s death, after nearly two weeks of being on life support, has ignited further public outrage over alleged police brutality and demands for justice. Two police officers have been arrested in connection with his shooting and remain in custody. In recent weeks, Kenya has seen a wave of protests, fuelled by allegations of police brutality.
