A heavy cloud of sorrow hangs over Likii village in Nanyuki as the family of Julia Wangui Kariuki, 30, a mother of two, prepares to lay her to rest.
What should have been a solemn moment of remembrance has turned into a tense standoff between grieving relatives and institutions they believe have betrayed them.
Julia allegedly died in police custody following her arrest during the Saba Saba protests.
The official explanation - that she died of natural causes - is one her family flatly rejects.
