A 20-year old student, Eugene Sebastian, was reportedly shot dead by the police while he was defending his father in Trans Nzoia County on Friday morning, December 11.
According to the parent, the second-year student at Kibabi University was shot twice on the leg and twice in the ribs while attempting to block police from pouring his father’s illicit liquor.
“I had asked him to open the gates in the morning and he met the police who stormed into the compound and they killed him,” the father lamented.
Eugene’s sister said that the deceased was their only beacon of hope and his fee had just been offset, allowing him to go back to school in January 2021h.
She added that income from the illicit alcohol had provided for the family for years.
Irate villagers confronted the police and stormed Namanjalala Police Post in an attempt to burn the station.
Police fired teargas to disperse the crowd and later engaged them in running battles.
The residents further attempted to block the officers from picking the body of the student until the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) arrived to confirm that he was murdered by the police.
The body was later taken to the Kitale County Referral Hospital morgue.
One of the best busaa I ever had was hapo karibu na namanjalala primary school. There was an elderly mama her name was Pamela Nasaba and she was the most seasoned chef ever to walk to earth . Angepika busaa mpaka I hear our chief angeitisha special home delivery aletewe kwa jerrycan ya Elianto. She was that good.
… I went looking for her few years ago nikasikia alirushiwa vikumba ( mifupa) ikaweka yeye chini.
One day we were drinking using mirija with a pack of friends . Tukasikia chief ameland na AP. Venye tulitosha kwa hiyo mlango the 8 of us wacha tu. My buddy Wanyonyi alinaswa na huyo chief( since he was always last in everything be it class, sleeping with girls drinking ,eating na hata kwenda mbiguni he will be last , but he was the first to die from our pack few years later RIP) . Alitandikwa na akawika kama a school of aliens. Akatutambua Sisi wote.
Chief came to my sister’s home to report me. I peeped through the fence nikamwona na hiyo kipara yake mpendwa. Sikuingia kwa boma hadi late usiku.
Kidogo nilijapata nimerudishwa mumias ontop of some other teenage crimes i was committing hapo kitale . Mzee was so mad with me, next thing nilijapata abroad masomo.
I think I made several women pregnant hapo. Siko sure, ni rumors tu nilikuwa ninasikia. But some of those girls would sleep with 5 of us in one night kwa hizo nightly discos hapo namanje. Once you dance with one akupendeze tungeingia kwa shamba la mahindi. No protection, no coitus interuptus … unakojoa ndani jinsi unataka. So we didnt know whose spermatozoa hit the jackpots?
One of the girls came to my sister’s house saying that she has my son… aliambiwa nilikufa kitambo huko ng’ambo. She never returned. I tried looking for her in mid 90s but the people who knew her walikufa wote . Kitale is a sweet place. Very sweet .
