Why is dad sniper not at peace

But beyond the public cry, it is the personal sadness of a father who has been waiting for free to bury his son.

The original promise was clear: there is no burial until justice is achieved. But as the case progressed, depression intensified, and burial plans were stuck.

The date was set, December 13, 2024, one full year after the death of the sniper, for his final sending.

Speaking to TV47 in rare and heartbreaking interviews, Sniper’s father urged his son to be buried finally before the end of June.

“My life here is filled with pain. Even my soul is not peaceful. The old man said with great pain in his voice.

Why is a sniper called President

The sniper’s body is left at the burial of the flower Methodist Hospital (MMH), where it has gained incredible status.

With a calming voice and out of closed doors, he is now known as ‘President’, not by his past influence in Meru politics, but because of the long period of time he stayed without burial.

“We call the president of the mortuary because he is sitting more here. The day he leaves here we will feel good and we call on anyone to speed up the removal of the drummer and rest him to his last place,” The hospital’s CEO John Mungania said.

For more than 18 months, a white sniper coffin is left unresolved, the weather in the mortuary.

Hellen Achieng, a mortuary in MMH, revealed that she is their long -term client, since most bodies do not last 14 days.

“So far, his body is the longest, he has been here for about a year and six months, which is why we gave him that nickname. Usually, the bodies stay here for a week or two,” noted.

Mungania promised that when the day came, the sniper would be treated with respect.
