Justice for Irvo Otieno: Updates on Indictments and Bond for Suspects
New surveillance footage shows Virginia sheriff's deputies overpowering and punching Irvo Otieno in his jail cell hours before his death. Otieno, who had a history of mental illness, was pinned down by seven deputies for over 11 minutes in an admissions room at a psychiatric hospital, where he was asphyxiated. The new video shows at least five officers grappling with Otieno through the food-tray slot before rushing in and bringing him to the ground, with one officer throwing multiple punches down. Ten people, including seven deputies and three hospital employees, have been charged with second-degree murder in Otieno's death.
