A family spokesman described Bridgit as a peaceful, obedient and multi-talented girl who loved singing, playing golf and reading. Her white casket was adorned with a flower bouquet and trophies she had won in various golf competitions. Her immediate family sat at the front, overwhelmed by grief, as close friends and relatives tried to comfort them.
The church fell into pin-drop silence when children from Njoki's school and church read their emotional tributes. The mood turned even heavier when Bridgit's mother, Lucy Kabiri, stood to read her final farewell.
"Saba Saba will forever be etched in my mind. I lost part of myself. I am shattered beyond words. You will remain 12 forever. The doctor you dreamed of becoming will never be a reality because that bullet shattered our dreams," she said. She added, "Our family chain is broken. We thought our house was safe, but the bullet still found you."
Politicians, including former CS Dr Fred Matiang'i, Kalonzo Musyoka and Jeremiah Kioni, attended the funeral but were not allowed to address mourners.
