The inquest into the June 2024 killing of Rex Masai, a 29-year-old who died during Gen-Z protests, continues amid controversy. Police officer Isaiah Murangiri Ndumba, the prime suspect, denies involvement despite photographic and video evidence placing him at the scene and Safaricom phone data placing him near the Intercontinental Hotel. Former Nairobi Central Police DCIO Tiberius Ekisa testified that he neither knows Murangiri nor gave him any shoot-to-kill orders, stating Murangiri was not under his command. The inquest has been adjourned due to police failure to submit an arms movement register, with three witnesses scheduled to testify in the next session. Separately, at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Kennedy Kalombotole has been arrested and arraigned as the prime suspect in the murders of two patients, including Edward Maingi Ndegwa, who was killed in Ward 7B. Kalombotole had been receiving treatment at KNH despite being discharged in January. Police traced bloodstains to his bed, linking him to the murders. The hospital faces criticism over security lapses following the patient killings, with the victim's family threatening legal action against KNH. Kalombotole remains in custody as police seek to hold him for 21 days pending further investigation, and the court has ordered a medical assessment of the suspect.
