A family in Mombasa is in mourning after their relative was reportedly shot and killed by a Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) officer attached to the Mtongwe Military Base in the coastal city.
The victim, identified as Mary Trizzer Obwor, passed away while undergoing treatment at the Coast General Hospital where she had been rushed to following the incident.
Trizzer passed away while receiving treatment, having been at the facility for the past 15 days.
She is said to have been shot after the KDF officer opened fire in public over an unpaid fare dispute with a matatu tout, while she was at her home in Maweche village, Mombasa County.
