Outrage As Woman Miscarries At Police Station In Kinangop
A family is seeking justice after a young woman reportedly miscarried while imprisoned at a local police station in Kinangop, Nyandarua County.
Her sister said that she was seven months pregnant and complained about her reservation at the station.
She was reportedly arrested after her employer submitted a complaint alleging that Ksh18,000 from a day’s sales went stolen.
“I pleaded with the police to release my sister as we tried to raise the money on Wednesday, but they declined,” Wangui said.
“I pleaded with them, informing them that my sister had other children waiting at home and we had a sick mother to take care of, but they refused.”

Later, it was discovered that just Ksh9,000 was gone, leading friends and relatives to provide money.
They managed to raise Ksh6,000, offering to raise an extra Ksh3,000 in the morning, but the police and complainant refused, demanding the full sum.
During her time in jail, she reportedly complained of acute abdominal pain and sought medical assistance, which the officers apparently ignored.
According to the family, the victim called her sister at 1 a.m. to say she needed help since she was bleeding severely.
