Seven central Virginia sheriff’s deputies were arrested and charged with second-degree murder Tuesday after a man in their custody died shortly after they took him from county jail to a state mental health facility, authorities say.
Irvo Otieno, 28, died on March 6 during the intake process to the facility, according to a statement from Dinwiddie County Commonwealth’s Attorney Ann Cabell Baskervill. State police investigators were told Otieno had become “combative” during the admission process and was “physically restrained,” the prosecutor said.His body was taken to the Office of Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond for an autopsy.The statement and criminal affidavits for the deputies offered few details of what caused his death, but an attorney for the family noted its “brutal nature” in a statement.
