In Summary


    Susan Kirigo, grandmother to the late Julia Wangai, on Monday demanded justice for her granddaughter, who died while in the custody of the Kenya Prisons Service.

    The National Police Service (NPS) has denied claims circulating on social media that Wangai, who was arrested during the Saba Saba protests, died in a police cell.

    Wangai, 24, died under unclear circumstances on July 11, just hours after being admitted to the Nanyuki Women’s Prison.
