The murder trial of Albert Ojwang, a 30-year-old teacher and blogger from Homa Bay, has gained new attention after fresh CCTV footage was presented in court.

The footage, captured at Nairobi's Central Police Station, shows Ojwang arriving alive in a Subaru before being dragged into a cell near the toilets.Four individuals are seen roughing him up, leading to his unresponsive state before he was removed from the facility.

The video contradicts the initial police claim that Ojwang died by self-harm, as an independent autopsy revealed severe head injuries, neck compression, and soft-tissue damage consistent with assault.

A witness testified under protection that he was ordered to delete footage during the trial's first day, raising concerns about evidence tampering.The trial now faces scrutiny as new details emerge, with Kenyans demanding justice for the alleged torture.

The case highlights systemic issues within law enforcement accountability, as the accused include former Officer Commanding Samson Talaam, who is also charged with the assault.

The trial underscores public outrage over the handling of Ojwang's death, which occurred in June 2025, and the need for transparency in police conduct.
