New details concerning the death of Irvo Otieno were released as part of the Dinwiddie court appearances of the deputies and hospital staff charged with his murder.
Documents obtained by 8News through a legal information request revealed that all seven of the Henrico County Sheriff's deputies charged with second-degree murder in connection with the in-custody death of Irvo Otieno, 28, received specialty training to address those in mental health crises.
Despite numerous requests from the Richmond Times-Dispatch and Irvo Otieno’s family for information in the death of the 28-year-old, state and Henrico County officials have withheld key records about his treatment at Central State Hospital or have refused to answer questions.
Attorneys representing two of the defendants charged in the death of mental patient Irvo N. Otieno filed court motions Monday asking a judge to bar the public release of any evidence in the case — including a hospital security video that shows the events leading to Otieno s death.
