Bodies believed to be those of lawyer Willie Kimani and two other persons who disappeared under suspicious circumstances last week on Thursday have been found today.
The two bodies recovered in Ol Donyo Sabuk River in Thika are suspected to be that of the client and a taxi driver. The bodies were removed to the City Mortuary awaiting identification and post morterm.
The discovery was made on Friday morning. One of the deceased was dressed in a checked shirt and khaki trousers while the other was dressed in jeans.
Meanwhile, a Nairobi Court has directed Inspector General Joseph Boinnet and Director of Criminal Investigations Ndegwa Muhoro to give out an interim report on investigations into disappearance of lawyer Willie Kimani and two others.
LSK moved to court Thursday seeking to compel government to produce the lawyer, his client Eric Mwenda and taxi driver Joseph Muiruri who went missing on June 23rd after appearing at Mavoko Law Courts.
On Thursday, the inspector general of the national police service George Kinoti said that investigations would be pursued.
“In the event that a crime is disclosed linking any person, whether police officer or otherwise, the law will doubtless take its own course,” he said in a statement.
Mr Kimani was working for the International Justice Mission, a US legal charity which focuses on cases of police abuse of power.
He had been representing his client in a complaint against a police officer who had allegedly shot him during a traffic stop in 2015.
LSK says this is the first time that a lawyer working on a sensitive case has gone missing.
