The inmate died at the Pangani Police Station cells on Sunday, July 11, 2021. [File, Standard]The family of a man who died in a cell at Pangani Police Station last Sunday, July 11, after failing to raise Sh200, will have to wait longer to establish the cause of his death. Mureithi, 30, was said to have collapsed at Pangani police cells on Sunday morning but police dismissed earlier claims that there was scuffle among inmates. Starehe police boss Julius Kiragu said the deceased collapsed in the cell around 7am and doctors who were alerted could not save his life. His father, Joseph Muriuki Kanye, arrived on Monday, July 12 as he had already heard about his son's death.
