The United Kingdom Government, through its Ambassador to Kenya, has added its voice to the ongoing case of the murder of Baby Samantha Pendo.
The UK Ambassador to Kenya Nic Hailey has taken into the social media calling upon the authorities pursuing the case to undertake full investigations and bring the perpetrators to book.
Hailey has further revealed that he would not slow down his own pursuit of justice fr the case until Baby Pendo’s killers are held responsible.
“Following the inquest ruling, and as I have done since the tragic death of baby Pendo in 2017, I continue to call on the Kenyan authorities to undertake a full investigation into her death and to hold those responsible to account,” wrote the High Commission.
The six-month baby succumbed to internal bleeding after she was hit in the head during the 2017 post-election chaos.
Kismu court on Thursday held five police officers liable for the brutal murder of the girl.
The five were Titus Yoma (Kisumu County Police Commander at the time), Christopher Mutune (former Kisumu East OCPD), Mr Bernard Kipkosgey Koima(Deputy Sub-County AP Commander in charge of the area), Ms Linah Kosgey (then Nyalenda OCS) and John Thiringi (then OCS for Kisumu Central).
