In the solemn halls of Ridgeways Baptist Church, Kiambu Road, grief hung heavy on Wednesday as moving tributes poured for slain teacher and influencer Albert Omondi Ojwang'.
The wooden casket bearing his remains stood before the altar, hosting epitaph in his remembrance in the fairly attended memorial service, with mourners' faces drawn in anguish and disbelief.
Ojwang' died in a police cell on June 8, hours after his arrest in their village home in Homa Bay County.
His mother, Millicent Omolo, could not hold back tears as she recalled how supportive his only son had been, expressing the helpless status the death had plunged her into. "He dearly cared," Milicent said, overwhelmed with grief, but she gathered courage to narratehow Ojwang's death has traumatised them.
