What suspects were arrested in connection with the murder of Albert Ojwang?
IPOA has been under pressure to arrest everyone involved in the death of the blogger, who died a few hours after being arrested for defaming the name of Deputy Inspector General of Police, Eliud Lagat.
On Friday, June 13, detectives arrested three suspects, including a technician paid KSh 3000 to undermine the CCTV system at the police station.
Others arrested are OCS Samson Taalam and police officer, James Mukhwana.
On Sunday, June 15, detectives arrested three more people suspected of being involved in the killing of a blogger at the police station.
Citizen television reported that IPOA officials arrested three detained inmates at the police station on the night of the blogger.
IPOA captured Gin Abwao, Collins Ireri and Brian Mwaniki, whose preliminary investigations show were rented by police to torture the blogger.
The three were allegedly released in a vague situation shortly after torturing the blogger and let him think he was dead.
Investigations have also made great strides in restoring a large portion of the damaged CCTV images at the police station.
According to IPOA, the images obtained will be important in exposing the identity of the people who plotted the Ojwang murder.
This recent development is important in exposing the events at the center at night when the blogger suffered to death.

- Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI) Amin Mohamed emphasized that Samson Taalam should be considered the chief suspect of the Ojwang massacre.
- IPOA chairman Isaac Hassan vowed that the authority would not be used to protect the police against accountability, stressing that it would pursue the truth about the death of Albert Ojwang.
- An examination of a corpse conducted by a team of governmental specialists revealed that he had suffered severe trauma, internal head injuries and symptoms of neck stomach.
Was Albert Ojwang sent to Mbagath already dead?
In another move, Citizen television distributed special CCTV images showing the full time when police took Ojwang’s body to Mbagathi hospital.
CCTV photos show police sending Ojwang to Mbagathi Hospital at 1.35 am, contrary to the head of the chief DCI.
Kenyans were more upset after the region showed the police were in no hurry to take Ojwang to the emergency room after arriving at the hospital.
As a result of the photos, three police officers took about 20 minutes before taking the blogger to an emergency wing for doctors to prove he had already died.
