Kitui, Kenya: Anne Mwenze is a deeply troubled and a traumatised woman. The brutal killing of her three-year-old son by her relative, and the subsequent acquittal of the suspect in controversial circumstances emotionally haunts Mwenze, who hails from Nzauni village in Kitui County.

The case that was concluded on April 3 at the High Court in Machakos was riddled with inconsistencies — there are now suspicions that the prosecution was involved in a deliberate and calculated scheme to bungle  investigations and pevert the course of justice.
