Three families were relieved of pain, anguish and tears of losing their loved ones in one of the most brutal manner after a six and a half years' pursuit for justice. They had lost a son, father or husband in the hands of the very individuals supposed to protect lives and property.

Lawyer Willie Kimani, his client Josephat Mwenda and taxi driver Joseph Muiruri may represent just about any Kenyan eking out a living on any ordinary day. But the cruel hand of impunity had armed police officers killing the three Kenyans in what horrified the nation nearly seven years ago.
