    "content": "examined by the doctor who prescribed some painkillers and allowed him to go back to the cells, where he was booked vide OB No.50/2/6/2014. Although after further investigation the police could not gather sufficient evidence to charge the suspect, it was apparent that he was instrumental in the commission of various robberies within Chepchoina and its environs. It was, therefore, found necessary to take the suspect before court and bind him to keep peace under Section 43(1) as read together with Section 46(a),(c) and (d) of the Criminal Procedure Code before the Chief Magistrate’s Court in Kitale in a miscellaneous application. He signed a bond to that effect. The Government is not aware that the suspect was assaulted during the arrest, interrogation or while in police custody, nor did he complain to any senior officer, the doctor who attended to him or the court when he was being bonded. The arrest of the suspect was informed by the intelligence gathered during investigation of various crimes in the area. Police officers are bound by law and the Constitution while interrogating suspects; any officer found to have tortured a suspect in custody is dealt with in accordance with the law. The Ministry is, therefore, not liable to either meet the medical costs or compensate the suspect."
