Owner-authorized historical notes, prepared with AI assistance. They were NOT personally reviewed by an activated REKODI publisher and are not publisher-approved court records or signed editorial releases. The project owner authorized this finite batch on 26 October 2026.
Each entry states its checking date and limits. Earlier research dates of 20–24 October are retained; the Gemini additions received targeted source checks on 26 October. These are not complete certified docket searches. An allegation is not a finding of guilt, and a historical sentence does not prove present custody.
Case text: English source summary.
Summary
On 19 June 2020 the Court of Appeal upheld the murder convictions of two police officers for shooting three men after they surrendered at M-Club in Kangemi on 6 October 2014, one of them an Administration Police officer who had handed over his pistol. It replaced the death sentences with ten years' imprisonment from the date of conviction.
