I am so tired, at least I have seen my son. He was a graduate, He is in pieces. His head has been cut off, the right leg is broken and the left side of the head is cut. He must have gone through a lot of pain,

An investigation by the Kenya News Updates took the team to Lang'ata Police Station, where it emerged that the police had a record of Ngure's death. Noah Wafula, operating a tree nursery along Magadi Road, revealed a supposed accident site where Ngure was hit by a matatu.

"Alikuwa na trouser ya kaki na alikuwa na majeraha kwa kichwa," Wafula recounted.

Other eyewitnesses, including Zakariah Njaramba, a bodaboda rider, narrated the June 23 incident, saying Ngure was hit by a matatu. 

"He hit him and tried to escape. 

We held him with stones, and he came back to carry him and take him to the hospital," said Njaramba.

The family, accordingly, moved Ngure's body from the City Mortuary to Uplands in Kiambu County. 

He is not a body unknown. He is our son. We love him even in death, Ngure's father said.
