Villagers of Tabani in Tongaren, Bungoma County, blocked the burial of Fred Wanjala, a security guard shot dead by police on 25 June in Nairobi under unclear circumstances.
Wanjala, an employee of Hatari Security Services, met his death while guarding Stima Plaza in Nairobi.
Police claimed he was killed by a stray bullet during the Gen-Z protests.
Locals demanded that the body be returned to the mortuary until the family gets justice.
