A family in the Kiganjo area of Thika, Kiambu County, is seeking justice after a family member was killed as a result of the chaos caused by a proposed market construction.
David Nduati, a 26-year-old boda boda rider, died from excessive bleeding after being shot during the altercation.
An autopsy on the deceased's body revealed that Nduati was shot in the back, with the gunshot destroying lung veins and causing excessive bleeding.
Harrison Ndirangu, the deceased's brother, told journalists that he was with his brother at the market on the fateful day.
