Three police officers in Kenya have been charged with the murder of a 31-year-old blogger, Mr Albert Ojwang who died in police custody earlier this month.
Mr Ojwang’s death has sparked outrage in Kenya with protests held to demand justice.
He was arrested after Kenya’s deputy police chief Eliud Lagat filed a complaint, accusing the blogger of defaming him on social media.
Mr Lagat stepped aside last week pending the outcome of investigations into Ojwang’s death. He has denied any wrongdoing.
The three police officers – Samson Kiprotich, Talaam James Mukhwana and Peter Kimani – were charged along with three civilians.
All six appeared in court on Monday, but have not yet pleaded.
