Baby Samantha Pendo trial: Conditions accused officers must abide by/HILLARY BETT



The Milimani High Court has granted four police officers in Baby Pendo's case a cash bail of Sh1 million with two sureties worth Sh500,000 each.

The court outlined a series of tough conditions the accused are expected to abide by.

The accused officers are prohibited from interfering with witnesses or victims, tampering with evidence, or visiting the scenes of the alleged crimes.

The accused are facing crimes against humanity in the 2017 killing of six-month-old baby Samantha Pendo during post-election violence in Kisumu.

Baby Pendo died in August 2017 after sustaining head injuries during a police operation to quell post-election protests in Kisumu.

The case is set for mention on July 2, 2025.
