Kenya: Magistrate Dies After Being Shot In Court By Policeman | Firstpost Africa
Kenyan Magistrate Monica Kivuti succumbed to her injuries after she was shot by a senior police officer last week. Kivuti was shot by a policeman at a court in the capital, Nairobi, on Thursday after she cancelled his wife's bail. The policeman, identified as Samson Kipchirchir Kipruto, was himself shot dead by other officers following the attack. The incident inside the courtroom has come as a shock to Kenyans. Although crimes against lawyers are not unusual an incident inside the court has never been reported. In Kenya, police face frequent allegations of brutality and extrajudicial killings but are almost never charged. Now, a similar case has further put the legitimacy of the country’s police forces into question.
