Families of missing persons cry out for justice

Edward Ng'ang'a

The recent disappearance of a lawyer, his client and their driver has evoked memories of similar cases countrywide that remain unresolved. International Justice Mission lawyer Willie Kimani, his client Josephat Mwenda and driver Joseph Muiruri went missing from the Mavoko Law Courts, moments after attending a court session. Their bodies were found in Ol Donyo Sabuk River, Machakos County. Four officers are in custody in connection with the killings. Sadly the incident, which saw lawyers across the country down their tools in protest has been replicated many times over. Often, the families of the deceased insist they were last seen in the hands of persons they believe were police officers. We bring you some of the reported cases

Thursday March 17 began like any other day for Edward Ng’ang’a Kangau, a fleet manager with Super Metro bus plying Nairobi-Kikuyu route.
