(a) The alleged Police Constable No.70025, Ex-P.C. Alex Muriuki Kiramana, was not a serving police constable on the day he met his death. He had earlier been struck off the payroll after he was declared a deserter from the police force on 21st November, 2002. (b) Following the shooting to death of the suspect, a police file Maua Criminal.147/116/2007 and Inquest File No.14/2008 were opened. The matter is still under investigation pending the arrest of the escaped suspects. The Magistrate will peruse the Police Inquest File No.14/2008 and rule on the circumstances which led to the death of the suspect. (c) The Government is not contemplating paying the deceased unless so directed by a court of law."}
