The Supreme Court is set to deliver its judgment in the case surrounding the killing of Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif on Friday.
Sharif was shot dead on October 23, 2022, in Kajiado County by officers believed to be from Kenya's elite General Service Unit (GSU).
The officers involved maintained that the shooting resulted from a case of mistaken identity after the vehicle Sharif was travelling in allegedly matched the description of one linked to a criminal incident.
However, the explanation has been disputed by Sharif's widow, who has challenged the GSU's account and sought accountability for the killing.
The case prompted calls for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the journalist's death.
Sharif, a prominent Pakistani investigative journalist, had travelled to Kenya before the fatal shooting.
The Supreme Court's decision is expected to determine the final legal position on the matter after years of litigation.
