- 5 years ago
One of the suspects killed in Riruta on Friday morning was a high school student who scored an impressive 447 marks in the 2014 KCPE examinations.
The suspect, according to officials of Maisha Poa, a Non-Governmental Organisation dealing with street children is an orphan who dropped out of school due to lack of school fees, but was to resume studies this year.
Overview
David Njoroge, the landlord of the houses where one of the suspected thugs was residing described his tenant, who was among those killed as "well mannered. The problem with him was the bad company."
A pistol and four rounds of ammunition were recovered during the morning incident.
The official who exclusively spoke to Capital FM News on condition of anonymity says she had high hopes that he would become a great person in the future.
“Felix comes from Western Kenya and is an orphan. He was to resume studies this year,” she said. “The devil wants to steal all our investments. Why did they have to die?”
She admits that some of those killed may have been engaging in criminal activities.
“They have been rejected and they could have learnt these behaviours from the streets,” she said. “But we were trying to reform them.”
Another suspect, the son of a single mother from Kiambu County was to join high school this weekend.
“I am very sad. Kamau had to die,” she said this time receiving a call from her seniors. “Kamau is no more… Felix too is gone,” I overheard as I eavesdropped.
