The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has called for probe into the killing of advocate Tom Ouya Imbukwa, who was allegedly assaulted, tortured, and murdered by reportedly unknown individuals.
In a statement by LSK President Charles Kanjama on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, he revealed that the society had received news of the advocate’s death with profound shock and grief, describing it as a tragic loss to the legal fraternity.
He extended condolences to Imbukwa’s family, friends, and colleagues.
According to Kanjama, the brutal circumstances surrounding his death had left members of the bar deeply shaken.
In the statement , LSK revealed that the advocate was subjected to severe assault and torture before being killed, raising serious concerns about the safety of legal practitioners in the country.
The LSK President has now called on the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the National Police Service (NPS) to carry out swift, thorough, and credible investigations into the incident.
“Our colleague was assaulted, tortured, and murdered by unknown persons. The circumstances surrounding Tom’s death demand our unequivocal condemnation and immediate action,” part of the statement by LSK read.
“We appeal to any member of the public with information regarding this incident to share it urgently with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) or directly with the Law Society of Kenya. Your anonymity and safety will be protected,”, the LSK President added.
Kanjama further stated that the Society will stand with the deceased’s family, including offering legal support throughout the investigation and any court proceedings that may follow.
