Authorities originally said there were 'no issues with any of their actions' after Irvo Otieno died in their custody.
New details about the death of 28-year-old Irvo Otieno were revealed Wednesday during the arraignment of seven Henrico County Sheriff's deputies in Virginia. The deputies are charged with second-degree murder in connection to Otieno's death March 6 while in their custody at Central State Hospital in Dinwiddie County, Virginia.
A second 12-minute video from Central State Hospital showed Otieno handcuffed and shackled on the ground with the seven deputies who have been charged with his death.In court, Baskervill raised concern about two injections Otieno received at Central State either during or after the altercation. The prosecutor claimed the seven deputies charged in Otieno's death did not assist Otieno in the aftermath, moved his body, removed his restraints, and waited three hours to call Virginia State Police to investigate.
Deputies Jermaine Branch and Bradley Disse received bonds following their hearings. Both could be released from custody if they are able to post the $15,000 and $10,000 bonds, respectively. “The family is grief stricken after learning of the brutal nature of Ivor’s death and his inhumane treatment in the hours preceding his death. The public, and experienced mental health professionals alike, will be appalled when the facts of this case are fully disclosed," Mark Krudys, an attorney for the family, said in a statement, spelling Otieno's first name as he said the family refers to him.
