flag Kenyan officer William Muriuki Nyaga sentenced to 30 years for killing unarmed man Stephen Githinji Ndiuni in 2020.

flag A Kenyan police officer, William Muriuki Nyaga, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for manslaughter in the 2020 death of Stephen Githinji Ndiuni, following a court ruling that he used excessive force without justification. flag The High Court in Ol Kalou found Nyaga guilty of unlawfully assaulting and killing the unarmed man at a hotel in Nyandarua County, citing gross abuse of authority. flag Though initially charged with murder, the court ruled there was insufficient evidence of malice, leading to the lesser charge. flag The Independent Policing Oversight Authority confirmed the verdict, part of a growing trend of judicial accountability for police misconduct. flag In a separate case, a former officer received a life sentence for the 2018 killing of an unarmed man. flag Human rights groups hailed the rulings as progress in upholding the right to life and improving police accountability.
