Business at the Mombasa law courts was paralysed as lawyers kept off from courtrooms demanding justice over the murder of their colleague, Willie Kimani.
On Monday, services were disrupted as judges, lawyers, clerics, human rights activists and the public jammed the corridors to demand an end to extrajudicial killings.
Most cases had to be adjourned after lawyers failed to appear for the hearing.
The late Kimani, his client Josephat Mwenda and their taxi driver Joseph Muiruri who were last seen on June 23 before their bodies were found dumped in Ol-Donyo River in Kilimambogo.
Protesters, donning white T-shirts with red spots to indicate bloodshed, carried coffins painted white and red and also waved placards condemning the police for the killings.
Judges and magistrates in Mombasa joined Governor Hassan Joho and other politicians in demanding for a public inquiry into the killings, and those that have taken place previously in the region.
Mombasa Chief Magistrate Teresia Matheka and Judge Anyara Emukule also joined the demos where they condemned the trio's killings.
“We are here because of the threat to the rule of law, the courts, advocates, litigants and above all the threat to witnesses. Without them we cannot sustain proper administration of justice,” said Justice Emukule.
