Jeremiah Mwaura was killed in a horrific gangland style. His brother, Joel Mwangi, recalls vividly how two men, their faces masked behind motorbike riders’ helmets, liberally pumped bullets into Mwaura on the morning of September 15, this year. They had just isolated him from his friends and colleagues at Cereals Grounds, in Industrial Area, Nakuru where he worked as a casual labourer.
