According to Njeri, the sudden death of the mother of one who was also an orphan has left a big gap in the family, as the she had assumed responsibilities of taking care of her siblings.
The family is now calling on the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA), the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and other relevant bodies to take up the matter and help them access justice by conducting thorough investigations that will reveal the identity of the police officer involved in the incident as well as the motive behind the killing.
