LIZA CATHERINE WANGARI MWANGI v ATTORNEY GENERAL [2010] eKLR as the Flying Squad. Her nightmare then started. They started questioning her about her involvement with one Bernard Kibaara who the officers were looking for. She was locked up in custody and that is when the officers are said to have unleashed on her acts of terror that no normal human mind could fathom. She particularized the heinous act committed on her by the said officers in paragraph 3 of her plaint. The said acts included being stripped naked, being flogged and kicked on the buttocks while naked and spread eagled on the floor. The most repugnant of the acts perpetrated on her however was having a 300mls Coca Cola bottle forced into her vagina by a male police officer while others held her legs. Another threatened to insert a chili laced stick in to her vagina. She was subjected to this inhuman and degrading punishment and treatment for a total of 13 days as she was locked up in cells. PW1 went to the police station and tried to plead on her behalf but his plea fell on deaf ears. Eventually, the plaintiff was taken to court where she complained of the injuries. The court ordered that she be taken to hospital for treatment which she was. She suffered several physical injuries and complications as well as mental injuries as particularized in her plaint. She was treated in several hospitals among them Nyeri Provincial General Hospital, Kerugoya District Hospital, Nairobi Women Hospital and several others. Her treatment included some surgical interventions as shown in the medical reports produced as exhibits. The 2 medical reports by Dr. Paul W. Mbaka and Julius M. Kiiru both outlined her condition and both doctors concluded that other than the physical trauma which manifests itself with low moods, headaches, body aches dyspepsia etc she has also suffered psychologically. Even as she testified in court, she kept breaking down while narrating her ordeal and it was apparent that almost 9 years later, she is far from full recovery. She told the court that she still undergoes treatment and hence the claim for future medical expenses. She told the court that the incident traumatized her so much that she cannot engage in normal sexual relations. She was not just physically tortured but also humiliated and mentally dehumanized. Her counsel has asked for general damages of KSh.24,011,520 Aggravated damages of 12,005,760 Sh. and future medical expenses in the sum of KSh.152,915. http://www.kenyalaw.org - Page 3/7
