The National Police Service distanced itself from the behaviour of the arrested officers noting "we reiterate that their behaviour is not representative of what the National Police Service stands for and the few rogue elements will always be dealt with firmly according to the law."
On Friday evening, the Law Society of Kenya chair Isaac Okero demanded the resignation of senior police bosses Inspector-General Joseph Boinnet, Deputy Inspector-General Samuel Arachi and Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery over the killings.
