Following mum’s foot steps
His emotional mother is still wondering if the officers misidentified his firstborn son with the bandits.
“My son was not a Bandit. Why did they decide to kill my son surely? He is my first my eye infact she was taking bachelor of arts education in English literature following my steps in teaching,” she added.
The family members claim that they have tried to reach out to police officers at Maseno Police Station for a statement in vain.
The officers have instead referred them to Independent Policing Oversight Authority.
