Afterwards they frog-marched me to their home,\u201d Naswa\u2019s brother, Boniface Wanjala, told\u00a0<em>The Standard<\/em>.\n<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cThey locked us inside the house and demanded that we produce the missing money. They later ordered me out before attacking my sister using a stick and a whip.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>He said despite Naswa\u2019s pleas of innocence, the men continued to attack her on instructions from their mother.\u00a0\u201cI tried to plead with them to spare my sister\u2019s life by offering a cow to compensate for the lost money but they refused.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Wafula said he rushed home after hearing that his daughter was in trouble.\u00a0\u201cI found my daughter motionless on the ground. They asked me to take her away, but I declined.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dead on arrival<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>He added that two police officers from Bikeke Police Post were summoned and they directed the woman and her sons to take Naswa to hospital. They used a motorcycle to ferry her to Bikeke health centre\u00a0where she was pronounced dead on arrival.\n<\/p>\n<p>Agnes Khisa, Naswa\u2019s mother, said: \u201cMy daughter had been working at the neighbour\u2019s home for the past five years. On Tuesday morning she was called by her employer to go and help her weed her vegetable garden. Little did I know she was going to meet her death.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Khisa said Naswa used the money she earned to bring up her one-year-old son.\n<\/p>\n<p>Wafula, a father of 10, wondered why the employer attacked his daughter.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe should have called me and we sort out the issue if indeed my daughter had stolen her money. Why did she let her sons kill my daughter?\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>He said the neighbour had sent emissaries to apologise.\u00a0\u201cAfter my daughter was pronounced dead, my neighbour dispatched five people who told me that she is ready to compensate me for the death of my daughter. I turned them away.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Wafula said his family is only interested in securing justice for his daughter.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a family, we want justice to prevail. We don\u2019t need money. Let the law take its course,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n<p>Wafula expresses fears that there is an attempt by some police officers to cover up the matter.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m aware that some officers have been compromised to protect my daughter\u2019s killers and I asked the government to intervene.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>County Commander Jacinta Wesonga promised they would conduct a thorough probe.\u00a0\u201cIt is unfortunate that a life has been lost. We have launched an investigation and let me assure the family that no stone will remain unturned.
