When judge Jessie Lesiit sealed the fate of three police officers and an informant for killing lawyer Willie Kimani, his client Josephat Mwenda and taxi driver Joseph Muiruri, she narrated a story of a father who instructed his son to watch his back while he stole mangoes.

According to her, the man had instructed the child to keep watch of anyone who would come by, and alert him. While he was on his dubious business, the young man fled. Asked what was up, he told his father that he realised God was watching them.
