She added that, “I was so heartbroken when I had come back home from business trip that night and all I saw were flying quad cars outside my gate and in shock I went inside and found policemen folding my son down,”
The mother claimed when she inquired from the officers, the officers showed her a video and told her son is a murderer, a robber and that he wanted to kill the police officer identified as Jacob Ogendo.

And while still at the spot some matatu guys came and convinced the officer to give back the car keys which he had taken from the boy and because he had really tried to plead with him in vain.
