Our daughter only wanted to help her mother fight cancer

 The portrait of the late Blessings Nasimiyu Masika whose body was found on the street in Riyadh (Peter Ochieng, Standard)

Twenty four hours after the burial of 23-year-old Blessing Nasimiyu, mourning was refused to leave Kwinet Village, some 10 kilometres from the maize-growing town of Moi’s Bridge, Uasin Gishu County on the belly of the Rift Valley.

Tragedy, it seems, has set up camp in the homestead, touching everyone who can spare some time to listen to the story around the young woman’s death.

And just like indelible ink, the haunting story leaves a mark that cannot be easily erased.
