The Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja on Thursday appeared in Court after snubbing several summons.
According to IG Kanja, the three brothers who went missing in December are not in police custody.
”Your honour, we have none of the subjects. I want to confirm before this court that we have none of them,” Kanja stated.
The police boss however told the court that the National Police Service(NPS) has been actively doing investigations on the whereabouts of the three
He added that upon receipt of the information about the missing three, he directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations(DCI) to immediately begin the investigations into the whereabouts.
DCI boss Amin, on his part, revealed that they were actively investigating the missing of the three. He added that upon completion of the same, the file will be sent to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions(ODPP).
”I wish to confirm that the investigations are still on course and at an appropriate time, the files will be forwarded to the ODPP,” Amin stated
“Finally, I wish to state that the missing persons are not under the custody of the national police service. We have not been arrested and they are not under our custody,” he added.
However, the DCI boss insisted that they were in no position to comply with the court orders directing them to produce the three in court as uncertainty continued to mount on their whereabouts.
“We can neither present the bodies nor can we formally prefer any charges against them because they are not under our custody,” he added.
Kanja and Amin had missed several court summons that required them to appear before the court over the abductions of the Mlolongo three on diverse dates in December.
