“To see nine men and a woman, squeeze– literally squeeze the breath out of my child was heartbreaking," Ouka said."I could not believe that human beings can be desensitized to do that to another human being.” At some point, an injection was given to Otieno by hospital staff. Baskervill asserted the injection was likely given after he had died of asphyxia.
The Henrico County Sheriff’s Office is conducting an independent review of Otieno's death alongside an investigation by Virginia State Police.“FBI Richmond has been in contact with authorities investigating the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of Mr. Irvo Otieno. We have no further comments to share at this time," read a statement shared with ABC News from an FBI spokesperson.
