A partially open grave at 86-year-old Chege Njoroge’s homestead in Naishi, Njoro, Nakuru County remains the only reminder of his son, Peter Kamau, a police officer,  who died 14 years ago.

The weight of the mystery surrounding his son’s disappearance and subsequent death have taken a heavy toll on the elderly man. Expectations were high in the family that their fortunes would change for the better after Kamau was posted to the Doldol Anti-Stock Theft Unit Patrol  base in Laikipia county  after he completed his training at Kiganjo Police College, Nyeri.
