It was on the evening of March 2, 2007 and I was studying in my room at my parent’s home in Kiamwangi village, Nyeri County, when my mother decided to send me to a nearby shop.
After I ran the errand, I ventured back home and decided to first go to a stream behind our house to wash my hands. Little did I know that I was placing myself at the centre of a firing ring courtesy of officers from the flying squad and Karatina Police Station.
