The state has denied torturing a suspect, Mohammud Hussein Aden in the former Garissa Finance Executive Idris Muktar attempted murder case.
Investigator affidavit dismissed allegations by Aden claiming he was given a plain paper titled “witnesses”.
He said the suspect signed on every page of his statement under inquiry dated 28 of August and on the certificate which states that his statement was obtained voluntarily without fear threats or intimidation of any kind.
The prosecution in affidavit claims that the preliminary medical report dated 5th of this month does not disclose any signs of torture and inhumane treatment during the period of arrest and detention.
“The applicant allegations of torture and inhuman treatment is an afterthought geared to subvert the course of justice bearing in mind the victim of the investigations is in critical condition fighting for his life,’ read the affidavit.
In a preliminary medical report produced before the court from Kenyatta National Hospital, the doctor examined that Mohammud Hussein Aden has a fair general condition, not pale, not dehydrated and walking.
Hussein had alleged that he was taken to a Mabati house where he alleges that he was assaulted by a metallic rod and torch that has electric shock and kicked.
He complained of headache and one episode of vomiting among other issues.
According to the report signed by Dr. Amina Guleid the suspect was discharged on oral medication.
Two days ago Aden claimed that he was treated in an “inhuman, degrading and cruel manner” in a bid to make him sign confessions regarding the alleged attempted murder.
Deputy Registrar Faith Muguongo directed that Aden be taken to Kenyatta National Hospital.
