A warrant of arrest has been issued against a police officer in the ongoing inquest into the 2019 Likoni ferry tragedy.
The officer was expected to appear in court on Thursday, July 24, to explain the alleged mishandling of crucial CCTV footage, which prosecutors believe holds key evidence in the case that claimed the lives of Mariam Kigenda, 35, and her four-year-old daughter, Amanda Mutheu.
The inquest has been marred by controversy over how the CCTV footage was handled, further complicating efforts to establish the truth behind the tragic incident.
Following the officer's failure to honour court summons, Chief Magistrate Alex Ithuku issued the warrant, noting that the officer is a key person of interest in the matter.
