The families of 29-year-old James Maina and 45-year-old Daniel Nudhu are seeking justice after the two men were found dead in a maize field.
It is alleged that Maina and Nudhu died in the hands of a police officer who attacked them after they were forced to eat raw corn and red peppers.
What did Maina and Nudhu do wrong?
Catherine Njoki, Nudhu’s grieving mother, narrated what happened before her son was killed. He explained that his son and his friends were passing by a corn field and decided to take some crops.
“They took about ten, and this angered the owner, who brutally attacked them,” said Njoki.
Maina’s mother, Lucy Muthoni, firmly stated that her son was not a thief. He explained that if he had been a thief, he would have dealt with the matter long before this incident.
“Even when he was a child, no one ever complained to me that he had stolen anything. He was a good boy,” Lucy said.
It is said that Nudhu died at the scene, while Maina was taken to Kiwanja Police Station, where officers advised him to rush the man to the hospital. Sadly, the 29-year-old man died while being taken to the Kenyatta University Referral Hospital.
The suspect recorded a statement to the Directorate of Criminal Investigation there Kasaraniclaiming the two were victims of mob justice.
However, the witnesses dispute this claim, saying that there was no right to the group of people and that the two were killed by the owner of the farm and his partner.
Detectives investigating the case have named a senior police officer, a sergeant, and a farm owner as prime suspects, as the investigation continues.
What did the autopsy report reveal about the murders that happened in Kahawa West?
Post-mortem results revealed that Maina and Nudhu suffered severe blunt force trauma to their heads, as well as multiple injuries to other parts of their bodies.
Activist Hussein Khalid, who was present during the autopsy at the Kenyatta Memorial mortuary, reported that the victims had undigested maize and green peppers in their stomachs.
Hussein noted that the two men appeared to be forced to swallow the substances shortly before they died.
“They were whole, meaning if they would have eaten them willingly, they would have chewed them. But these seemed to be forced to swallow them,” the activist explained.
