Kisumu senior resident magistrate Beryl Omollo in her ruling placed responsibility for baby Pendo’s murder on Mr Yoma and the police command under him. Mutune MaweuThe then Kisumu East and Central OCPD, told the court that his responsibility was to ensure seamless elections. He indicated that he was instructed by Mr Yoma, his boss, to move around town and update him about the situation and also inform sector commanders to guard vital installations. An allegation he made that put him at a crossroads with Mr Yoma during the hearing was that the county commander ordered them not to venture out since it was dangerous and remain in their homes. They were in a club and a bar maid called the police saying there were people inside who were armed.
