Demonstrators set ablaze a container at the Syokimau Administration Police (AP) camp, east of Nairobi, where lawyer Willie Kimani and two others were detained before they were brutally killed and their bodies dumped in a river.
The detectives investigating the murder of the three had cordoned off the containers at the AP camp and marked them as a crime scene.
The demonstrators, most of them boda boda (motorcycle taxi) operators, converged on the Mavoko Law Courts on Wednesday the morning where Machakos Law Society of Kenya chairman Andrew Makundi had gone to submit a petition.
Officers watched
After Mr Makundi left, the demonstrators headed to the AP camp where they set the container on fire as police officers watched.

Efforts by Mavoko MP Patrick Makau to stop the demonstrators from burning the post were futile.
Mr Makau was accompanied by the Kathiani MP Benard Mbui and his colleague in the East Africa Legislative Assembly Peter Mathuki.
Their taxi driver
Athi River deputy county commissioner Geoffrey Omoding’ who condemned the actions of the demonstrators, said those who participated in the burning of the post would be arrested.
The bodies of Mr Kimani, his client Josephat Mwenda and their taxi driver, Joseph Muiruri were retrieved from Ol Donyo Sabuk River in Machakos County on July 1, a week after they disappeared.
