Emotions ran high on Friday in Githunguri village in Murang'a as slain hawker Boniface Kariuki was laid to rest amid intense calls from family, friends, relatives, and the Opposition for justice.
Mourners in their thousands, who turned up for the burial, called for the resignation of President William Ruto and claimed the blood of the 23-year-old hawker lay on his hands.
Those who spoke accused the President of running a terror enterprise, targeting innocent Kenyans, and described the deaths that have been witnessed as unacceptable.
Mwangi was shot dead by officers on June 17 as Kenyans demonstrated over the death of teacher and blogger Albert Ojwang', who had died in police custody.
