“My sons were the best thing I had and it pains me knowing that I will never have a chance to speak or see them again,” said Wanjiru.

The area MP Jeremiah Kioni who spoke at the funeral said it was unfortunate to lose promising young men and asked the government to bring the perpetrators of the heinous act to justice.

DCI detectives arrested the prime suspect Benson Melonyie ole Mungai from his hideout in Kitengela. He was positively identified as the person who coordinated the attack on the four.

Ole Mungai is in custody, assisting the police with investigations.
