Autopsy results have revealed that 26-year-old Joseph Kamau from Majengo area in Nyeri died of a single gunshot wound to the head. The family of the young man, who was shot on 24 May 2026 during the anti-fuel protests that rocked the town, is now demanding justice for their kin, saying he was not part of the demonstrations. According to the family, Kamau was guarding his employer’s shop against looters. The latest victim of the protests joins a long list of cases that will be forced to wait for justice. The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights says the compensation money that was announced by President William Ruto is yet to be released by the government.
