Seven victims of police brutality have been awarded a total of Sh28 million for the suffering they underwent two decades ago.
The victims, who included a former bodyguard of multiparty crusader Kenneth Matiba, Boniface Wanjohi, were arrested between December 1986 and 1990 and tortured for days by police who were trying to extract information from them.
The seven moved to court through lawyer Gitau Mwara accusing State agents of torturing and subjecting them to inhuman and degrading treatment.
Mr Kuria Chege Wamere, an uncle of former Subukia MP Koigi Wamwere, was arrested at his home in Engashura, Nakuru and questioned about his family relationship with Mr Wamwere.
He was also asked about his alleged visit to Uganda, an ammunition store and his connection to Mwakenya, all which he said he knew nothing about.
