The chaotic demolitions in Mathare on Wednesday resulted in a tragic and gruesome loss of life in an instant.

For days, the community had been crying for justice as they faced the demolition of their homes, but for one family, it is a double tragedy. They are not only losing their home but also mourning the death of their kin.
