I lost my son three months ago. He was gunned down by bandits. Every day is a struggle for me because I see the person who allegedly ordered the hit walking free. The police haven’t done anything meaningful so far and I suspect they will never do. I’m constantly angry and have thought about vengeance more times than I care to admit. It’s driving me insane.
I’ve had to move to a different part of town but the knowledge of police inaction is causing me sleepless nights.

Kisaine22, what a terrible thing to happen to your son. Whereabouts do you live? Are the police not doing anything then?
I live in Maralal, Kenya. He was murdered by business rivals and the police aren’t doing anything about it.
I am sorry to hear this. What an awful situation for you. Can you get legal help?
