BONYANDIEKA RESIDENTS DEMAND JUSTICE AFTER MAN DIES FOLLOWING BRUTAL PANGA ATTACK

"He was coming from Mogonga heading home when he was attacked about 700 metres from our home. The attackers slashed him twice on the head with pangas. After the attack, we heard him scream three times as he called for help. He managed to escape from the attackers and ran towards a nearby homestead before reaching our compound. He kept saying, 'Mama, I'm dying.' He had lost so much blood that it was difficult to recognize him."

"At around 8 p.m., someone knocked on our door and told us, 'Come quickly, your relative has been attacked.' We rushed outside and found Bogita lying on the ground near our home. We carried him to the roadside, where we found transport and took him to Ogembo Hospital. He received first aid and was referred to Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital. However, on our way we learned that nurses were on strike, so we diverted to Christamarian Hospital, but there were no available beds. We then went to RAM Hospital, where we were referred to Nyangena Hospital. Sadly, by the time we arrived at Nyangena, he had already died."
