The family and friends of 20-year-old Peter Mwangi Nyambura are demanding justice following his tragic death during the Gen Z-led protests in Nyeri town on June 25.

Mwangi, a first-year student at Nyeri National Polytechnic, allegedly sustained fatal head injuries as police attempted to disperse crowds and stop looters who had invaded Naivas Supermarket during the demonstrations.

The peaceful demonstration had initially been planned as a memorial to honor Gen Z protesters who lost their lives during last year's protests.

However, what began as a solemn tribute quickly escalated into chaos when police responded with force, triggering panic and confusion in parts of Nyeri town.
