Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Five police officers charged with the murder of a Mombasa tout while in police custody have each been released on a Sh1 million bond<\/p>\n

Justice Justus Bwononga said if they are not able to raise the bond, they can pay a cash bail of Sh800,000.<\/p>\n

The offices will also be required to check in at the IPOA offices twice a month.<\/p>\n

The five have been in remand since September last year. An initial plea to be released on bail had been denied by the same court.<\/p>\n

The officers through their Lawyers led by Danstan Omari in a second attempt pleaded with the court to free them on bail.<\/p>\n

He asked the court to place any terms or conditions it deems fit which has since been allowed by the court.<\/p>\n

The Judge at the same time dismissed claims by the lawyer that IPOA was using the case to abuse their rights. He said there was no evidence to that effect.<\/p>\n

The officers facing the murder charges are Khalif Abdulahi Sigat, James Muli Koti, Joseph Odhiambo Sirawa, Edward Kong Onchonga and Nelson Nkanae<\/p>\n

The deceased-Caleb Espino-died while being detained at Changamwe police station.<\/p>\n

Espino was arrested on September 18, 2018, on suspicion of being in possession of illegal alcohol \u2013 Chang\u2019aa and was booked in at the station as \u201cunknown\u201d at around 6 pm.<\/p>\n

He later died that night after police allegedly pounced on him with wooden clubs, punched and kicked him.<\/p>\n

He was then transferred to the Coast General Hospital the same day at around 9 pm, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.<\/p>\n
