Nairobi — The mother of Rex Kanyike Masai, the 29-year-old man shot dead by police during Thursday's anti-Finance Bill protests, has recounted the events leading to her son's death.
"I was told that Rex had been shot in the leg and had been rushed to the nearby Bliss Hospital along Moi Avenue. After I hurried from Nyama Villa to town, I found him deceased," she said."When they were standing somewhere around Archives, I cannot pinpoint the exact location, police launched teargas, and then he was hit when a gun was fired in the direction they had chosen to escape to," she narrated.
Activist Boniface Mwangi accused the police of being responsible for Masai's death. He accompanied Masai's devastated family to City Mortuary.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
