Simon Warui, the man who died while in police custody at Mombasa Central Police Station last week, had injuries consistent with a fall from a great height, an autopsy has revealed. The autopsy report released by the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) revealed that Warui died from cardiorespiratory collapse due to a fracture or dislocation of the neck. IPOA Chairperson Issack Hassan confirmed that the Authority had launched a full-scale investigation into the circumstances surrounding Warui's death. Speaking on the circumstances surrounding Warui's death, authorities claimed he “fell from a wall in the cells" - a claim which rights groups dispute as implausible. Predictably, Warui's case has reignited debate about accountability within police stations, despite repeated assurances from the government.
