Police rub salt to wound of parents mourning son killed by crocodile

Baringo, Kenya: Rael Akeno holds back tears and turns her eyes away from what was to be the grave of her son outside her house in Sesoi in Loruk, Baringo County.

The soil has been replaced in the grave and there is a sign of life in the heart of it. Instead of a cross, a tree has been planted on the mound of soil that would have covered Davis Kemoi Lenengole’s final resting place. The 17-year old is reported to have been mauled by a crocodile on New Year’s eve while fishing in Lake Baringo.
