The Director of Public Prosecutions, Renson Igonga, has approved murder charges against police officer Klinzy Barasa Masinde, who is accused of killing hawker Boniface Kariuki.
Barasa and his fellow constable Duncan Kiprono were arrested after being captured on tape manhandling the unarmed mask vendor before one shot him at close range along Moi Avenue.
Meanwhile, Kiprono was set free after DPP said no murder charges would be preferred against him.
Following the incident, a lot of Kenyans raised concerns over the police brutality.
The incident led to Kariuki being admitted to the hospital with four bullet fragments lodged in his brain.
The doctors had previously removed two other fragments while he was still alive, but he never improved during treatment, which led him to succumb to the injuries.
