One year after the tragic deaths of Gen Z protesters during Anti-Finance Bill demonstrations, the families of those killed by police gunfire are still grappling with grief and a justice system that has offered little solace.

In Nakuru East's Kabachia area, Maria Shikwe mourns her autistic son, Austin Onyisa, who was shot dead exactly one year ago today.

Onyisa, described by his mother as a calm and hardworking young man, was not a protester but a bystander caught in the chaos while searching for his younger brother. "I lost my firstborn son.

He was killed without committing any crime," she says.
