The chief justice says security protocols in court are being reviewed after Thursday's incident.

A Kenyan magistrate who was shot by a senior police officer earlier this week has died, according to the country's chief justice.

Ms Kivuti was shot by a policeman at a court in the capital, Nairobi, on Thursday after she cancelled his wife's bail due to the woman's absconding. "The Judiciary family stands in solidarity during this deeply traumatic time and calls for sensitivity and compassion as we share in grief." The judiciary has said it would enhance security measures and has assured judicial staff and other court users of their safety and security.
