Three hospital employees in Virginia have been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in the law enforcement custody death of Irvo Otieno
Three hospital employees in Virginia were arrested Thursday and charged with second-degree murder in the death of Irvo Otieno, the 28-year-old Black man who died at a state mental health facility last week, the Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Dinwiddie County said in a news release obtained by CNN affiliate WTVR. Those charged come in addition to the seven sheriff’s deputies who were charged with second-degree murder on Tuesday.
“The criminal information warrants are based on the evidence collected, analyzed and evaluated to-date,” Baskervill said, according to the release. “A key element of that evidence is the surveillance video from Central State Hospital that captures the intake process. To maintain the integrity of the criminal justice process at this point, I am not able to publicly release the video.” CNN has reached out to the Central State Hospital for comment.
