When he last spoke to his father, Fred Wanyonyi, the security guard who was shot dead at Stima Plaza during the June 25 protests, promised his dad that he would buy him a piece of land this month.

But in a cruel twist, 65-year-old Robert Kwambo has been left mourning the abrupt death of his son. It is believed the killer shot was fired by one of the police officers deployed to quell the demonstrations.
