Police have launched an investigation into a distressing incident that unfolded on December 10, 2023, resulting in the untimely death of Amos Ndemo within the confines of HM Prison in Norwich, Norfolk, England.
An inquest into his death was held in Norwich this week and heard that a report is being prepared by the Prisons and Probation Service Ombudsman.
According to local media, the short hearing was told Ndemo had been found dead in the prison, but that there were no suspicious circumstances.
Ndemo was known to the region’s mental health services and that the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust would also be preparing a report for his inquest.
She adjourned the hearing for a pre-inquest review hearing to be held on June 28 next year.
His medical cause of death was given as hanging.
His friends posted about his death on social media as they sent condolence messages to his family members.
His cousin, identified as Ms Loverine Kimaiga wondered why the deceased made the decision of leaving the country.
“Amos my cousin, my brother, our hero I cannot believe that you are no more. Why did you make the decision of leaving Kenya for England and now your death has left your family in dilemma?” Ms Kimaiga posed, adding that she will really miss her company.
Trizah Nyaboke said, “Rest in Peace. Amos Ndemo. Shine your way brother. You have left a big gap in the family.”
