Director of Public Prosecutions Renson Ingonga issued an update on investigations regarding the alleged shooting of protesters by police.

He said his office received files from the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (Ipoa) regarding four victims of the alleged police shootings.

Among them is a file on the death of Rex Masai on June 18 along Moi Avenue.

Ingonga said CCTV footage obtained on the material day does not distinctly identify the individual who pulled the trigger.

The DPP said that investigations show Masai's relatives identified the body for post-mortem.
