The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has made a plea to the High Court to overturn a ruling that acquitted three police officers accused of torture in Homa Bay.

In a statement on Thursday, April 10, the ODPP revealed that it had challenged the Migori High Court to review the case and reevaluate the evidence presented during the trial.

In its appeal, the ODPP is requesting that the acquittal be substituted with convictions and appropriate sentencing.

The DPP alleged that the trial magistrate contravened Section 169 of the Criminal Procedure Code by issuing a judgment that lacked legal grounding.
