“As I was waiting, I heard gunshot sounds. I asked my friends who were with me, ‘Did you hear the gunshots?’ But they didn’t believe me and asked, ‘Since when do such things happen around here?’” said Cyrus Ndunda, Kamene’s brother.
Kamene, who worked at an M-Pesa shop, was closing her business for the night when she was killed.
A neighbour recalled how the alleged armed robbers shot the young lady and fled on a motorbike.

“When I heard the second gunshot, I tried to open the door. When I did, I saw people getting on a motorbike as they fled,” said Hashim Mohammed.
On that fateful night, Kamene was not alone, except for the moment she was attacked by the gang.
Moments before the incident, she had been with her nephew, who recounted the last moments with her.
“I was with her before she was killed. We closed the shop together, and I left her behind to eat supper at a nearby hotel. As I ate, my younger aunt, who had been with her, rushed towards me. When she approached, she told me that my aunt had been shot,” he said.

A postmortem revealed that Kamene died after being shot three times, once in the neck and twice in the chest.
The heartbroken family cried for justice, with residents also expressing fear for their own lives.

Kamene’s sister was devastated by her sibling’s death and explained that Kamene had been the breadwinner of the family.
“Even now, she was our source of help, our breadwinner. All I am asking and praying for is justice to prevail for my sister,” she said.
