Boit stated that the deceased was found lying unconscious in the cell and was rushed to Keringet Sub-County Hospital, where he succumbed to the injuries while undergoing treatment.

According to the family, Cheruiyot had been taken to the police station following a fight over Ksh.10 at a local shop in Kimororoch village.
