Amnesty International termed it the “hallmark of an extra judicial killing” after police had allegedly claimed the boy was part of a syndicate gang terrorizing residents



Aged 23 years old, he met his death from a nearby movie shop to home after watching a football match

Police already replied to the allegations confirming that the deceased was part of the criminal gangs.

The police received a call from the members of the public who said that they were being mugged by a group of youths. It is then that the police acted and shot one on the spot,” said Kilimani police boss Michael Muchiri adding that police recovered a knife and homemade gun from crime scene

Here are 10 facts about Maina who died suddenly from police gunshots

  1. From Olympic primary school, he studied at Maseno High School where he scored an A plain in KCSE.
