Stakeholders in the judicial system have raised the alarm over rising suicide cases among suspects in police custody.
The latest incident happened at Chogoria Police Station in Tharaka Nithi County, where a 30-year-old murder suspect died by suicide.
County police boss Zacchaeus Ng'eno said the suspect, James Muthaura, had been on the run for over a year after allegedly killing his five-year-old son whose body was found in Tungu River.
Ng'eno claimed that the suspect waylaid the boy and took him to an unknown place before his body was found.
