Police bullets killed six people during chaotic Saba Saba protests across Kiambu county. A 12-year-old girl died at home after a stray bullet struck her head during family TV time. Three other victims lost their lives under different circumstances as violence erupted throughout the area. Families demand justice for their loved ones who never participated in the demonstrations. The deaths happened when protests turned violent between officers and young demonstrators.
Bridgit Njoki was watching television with her mother Lucy Ngugi when gunfire erupted nearby. The bullet traveled two kilometers from the main road protests to reach their rural home. Dennis Mutuma Mwangi also died outside his residence after officers shot him from behind. Margaret Wangui lost her son Laban Kamau to a head wound during the same violence. Student Kevin Muiruri survived but suffered serious leg injuries when police shot him during the chaos.
Hospital officials charged grieving families for mortuary services and post-mortem examinations. The families cannot afford these costs after losing their breadwinners to police gunfire. Former lawmaker Jude Njomo visited the bereaved families and criticized official death counts. He demands international investigators examine the killings since police cannot investigate themselves. Local residents reported seeing unfamiliar young people during the protests across Mount Kenya region.
